Three characters, .org, X-for-Y. T4O reads as technology for outcomes, training for organisations, or tools for openness.
Tools for openness fits the open data, open source, and transparency world, where the organisations are foundations and nonprofits almost without exception and the naming tends toward mission statements rather than company names.
Technology for outcomes is the framing that funders increasingly demand: not technology for its own sake, but technology demonstrably improving something measurable. That’s the pitch every civic tech organisation now has to make.
The practical argument for three characters in this sector holds regardless of reading. These organisations put their name on documents alongside funders, partners, and coalition members, and a short address holds its own in that crowd rather than being truncated.
Established convention, fixed supply, matching extension.
