# FinancialU Domain Selection — Sprint 47 Blocker

## Status

**Blocked** — Client has not selected a domain from the options provided. Follow-up with Carly and the client is pending.

## Background

The client (Next Level / FinancialU) requested a domain name aligned with a "Financial U" brand rather than continuing to use the existing Next Level domain. The team researched and presented several options, but some of the client's preferred names were unavailable. As of Sprint 47 planning (2025-10-30), no selection has been made.

There was also internal confusion about project scope: the engagement is for **a single website with two applications** (one for employers, one for employees) — not a separate "Next Level" corporate site. The corporate site was mentioned by the client as a future possibility but is not part of the current project.

> **Mark Hope (transcript):** "I think it's one website, but it has two applications. One is for employers and one is for employees."

> **Mark Hope (transcript):** "They wanted to find some kind of Financial U type name. And so we gave them some proposals and they didn't pick one yet. So we just need to ask them, what domain do you want to use?"

## Blocker Details

| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| **Blocked task** | Research and provide information about the FinancialU domain name |
| **Blocked by** | Client has not chosen from the options presented |
| **Secondary blocker** | Domain options list needs to be retrieved from Carly before client follow-up can happen |
| **Site go-live target** | November 1, 2025 (at risk) |

## Scope Clarification

- **In scope:** Single website with employer-facing and employee-facing applications
- **Not in scope:** A separate Next Level corporate/company site (mentioned by client but not contracted)
- The ClickUp tasks labeled "Next Level" refer to this FinancialU project; Carly created them under that label

## Action Items

- [ ] **Melissa Cusumano** — Follow up with Carly to retrieve the domain options that were presented to the client
- [ ] **Melissa Cusumano** — Once options are confirmed, follow up with the client to get a final domain selection
- [ ] **Melissa Cusumano** — Confirm with Carly whether "Next Level" ClickUp tasks are correctly scoped (single site, two apps; no separate corporate site) and update task labels accordingly
