A B2B marketing allocation tool that models each channel's response curve and shifts budget according to marginal return rather than average CAC.

Why it surfaced

GainGauge makes a sharp, concrete argument: a saturated channel with a lower average CAC can be far more expensive for its next customer than a smaller channel still climbing. Its illustrative model equalizes marginal return, while the product explicitly refuses to invent figures or automatically alter ad accounts.

Monica’s Calendar of Flowers

August 17’s newborn domains include a calendar that spreads flowers for Monica across the months after JP’s death, 17 years of a master mariner’s logbooks, the seconds between a modem connection and the first web request, and an Indian bus cabin carrying 632 songs.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-17 Domain Arrivals issue.
