THE SHORT VERSION
shopify describes its business name generator as free, with a 120-character brief, no required sign-up and a domain-availability handoff. we did not run it because the published terms prohibit automated access. namelix, atom and AI brand scaler have different first-hand evidence depths, so their rows are not equivalent. this page shows what is sourced, what was observed and what still needs a permitted manual run.

the house tool sits in the same ledger. AI brand scaler publishes this page and appears in the naming ledger. it is not affiliated with shopify. no automated shopify interaction was attempted, and the house tool receives no inferred advantage from the missing run.
001 // THE DECISION THIS RECORD CAN SUPPORT
is an official product description enough, or do you need first-hand output evidence? the current page filters evidence states. it does not rank the tools or tell you to stay, switch or buy.
002 // DATED FACTS
source-only, mapped, blocked and completed are not the same state. observed interaction and provider language keep separate labels. every fact links to its public record.
what shopify publishes. the feature description is an official claim. no product interaction was attempted.
official claim only shopify describes a free AI business-name generator with a 120-character description field, no required sign-up and a domain-availability handoff.

006 // THE PUBLICATION LINE
a claim can be useful without becoming a verdict. SUPPORTED BY CURRENT EVIDENCE
what the record can say. UNKNOWN OR UNVERIFIED
what the record cannot say. no shopify run, output or domain handoff was observed. FUTURE EVIDENCE SLOT add a permitted manual run supplied by the owner without automating or bypassing access controls.
inspect current boundary
the free, no-sign-up and domain-handoff statements remain official claims. FUTURE EVIDENCE SLOT verify each statement in a permitted manual session and preserve dated evidence.
inspect current boundary
no generated name in this benchmark establishes legal availability. FUTURE EVIDENCE SLOT perform fresh business, domain and trademark checks outside the generator before public use.

007 // QUESTIONS THE RECORD CAN ANSWER
short answers. visible caveats. is shopify's business name generator free? shopify describes the tool as free. the generator was not run, so this remains an official claim rather than an independently observed interaction.
does shopify require sign-up? shopify says no sign-up is required. v0.1 did not run the flow and cannot independently confirm the handoff.
does shopify check domain availability? the official page describes a domain-availability handoff. its behavior and result accuracy were not observed.
why was no shopify result captured? shopify's published general terms prohibit automated access or monitoring, so no agent-run interaction was attempted.
is a generated shopify business name legally available? this benchmark provides no legal clearance. a generated name or domain handoff is not a trademark or business-record guarantee.
does v0.1 name a shopify generator alternative? v0.1 publishes no recommendation. the evidence states differ too much for a fair quality ranking.
