Decision

Use hyv.to as the short redirect domain for HiveNative.

URL Format

hyv.to/{shortId}

Example: hyv.to/a1b2c3d → redirects to hivenative.com/task/...-a1b2c3d

Rationale

• Semantic fit: "hyv.to" reads as "hive to [record]" — a verb phrase
• Phonetic brand: "hyv" sounds like "hive"
• Length: 14 characters total (hyv.to/a1b2c3d) — optimal
• Score: 39/45 on weighted criteria (highest of all candidates)

Alternatives Considered

Domain	Score	Why not
hvn.sh	37	Abbreviation less intuitive than phonetic
hyv.link	37	2 chars longer (16 vs 14)
hvn.io	36	Less memorable
thive.*	—	Obsolete post-rebrand from TeamHive

Next Steps

1. Set up Cloudflare Workers redirect infrastructure
2. Integrate into UI (@Integrate short redirect URLs into TeamHive UI)
