domain registration: 14-day ROI scorecard for “domain registration” — prove lift before annual

Namecheap, GoDaddy, and Registro.br on the scorecard

Namecheap only “passes” “domain registration” hype if the internal KPI rises with a day-14 screenshot.

GoDaddy shows near “cheap domain registration”; measure the same KPI, not marketing demos.

Keep Registro.br as control: noisy lift freezes the shortlist.
