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