Business name numerology: how the API works it out
POST /v1/business takes the business name, the owner's birth date and, if you have one, a launch_date. It reads the name in the Chaldean system, the letter table Indian numerology uses. Write the name in English letters.
Dots, hyphens and apostrophes are fine. Acme Inc. adds up to 22. That is a master number, so master is true, and 2 plus 2 gives 4, ruled by Rahu.
The owner is John Doe, born August 15, 1990. His mulank (birth day number) and bhagyank (destiny number) are both 6, ruled by Venus. Venus counts Rahu, read as Saturn, as a friend, so the fit is good.
The answer has three parts. The name block holds total, compound, number, master, planet and the fit. The suggestions list offers up to 5 spellings of the first word that sound the same and suit the owner.
For Acme Inc., it suggests Aacme Inc., which adds up to 23 and gives 5, also a good fit. The launch block reads the launch date, when you send one. Suggestions come in a fixed order and are never ranked.
The not_claimed_spelling line reminds users that a new spelling changes only the number of the name. POST /v1/number with kind set to business checks the name alone, with no spellings and no date.
The Chaldean letter values, with no letter worth 9, follow the table in Cheiro's Book of Numbers (1926).
