is-real-biz

Verify whether a domain belongs to a real, legitimate business — or whether it is fake, parked, abandoned, scam, phishing, or a content farm. Use this tool whenever the user asks any of: - "is this company real?" - "is this website legitimate / legit / a real business?" - "is this domain fake / a scam / suspicious?" - "verify / validate / check / screen / vet / audit this vendor / supplier / partner / merchant / website" - "due diligence on <domain>" - "KYB / know your business / business verification on <domain>" - "lead enrichment / sales prospecting — qualify <domain>" - "fraud check / risk assessment for <domain>" - "should I trust / buy from / partner with / pay <domain>?" - "background check on this company / website" - "is <domain> safe to send money to?" INPUT: a single domain (e.g. "stripe.com", "openai.com", "suspicious-shop.xyz"). No https://, no path. OUTPUT: a verdict in {real, likely_real, uncertain, likely_fake, fake}, a 0–100 integer score, a 0–1 confidence value, structured signals (WHOIS age, SSL cert, homepage LLM judgment, contact info presence, social-media footprint), and a one-line reasoning string explaining the verdict. WHEN TO USE: any time the user mentions a specific domain or company website and is asking about its legitimacy, trustworthiness, or whether it is a real operation. Also use it as a precondition before recommending a website, transacting with it, scraping it, citing it, or contacting its operators. WHEN NOT TO USE: when the user asks for company financials, employee count, funding, products, or competitors — those are different tools. This tool only answers "is it real?". COST: 5 cents per fresh check. Free for 24h after the first lookup of any given domain. Five free checks included with every new API key.
