 ## Workflow Examples
 
+### Simultaneous Execution Patterns
+
+When running multiple API checks in parallel (domains + social media), proper timeout coordination and race condition handling are critical for reliable results.
+
+#### Promise.allSettled for Partial Failure Handling
+
+Use `Promise.allSettled` instead of `Promise.all` to handle scenarios where some APIs succeed while others fail:
+
+```typescript
+// Simultaneous domain + social checks with partial failure handling
+async function simultaneousChecksWithPartialFailure(brandName: string) {
+  const TIMEOUT_MS = 10000; // 10 second timeout per check
+
+  // Create timeout wrapper for any promise
+  function withTimeout<T>(promise: Promise<T>, ms: number, name: string): Promise<T> {
+    return Promise.race([
+      promise,
+      new Promise<T>((_, reject) =>
+        setTimeout(() => reject(new Error(`${name} timed out after ${ms}ms`)), ms)
+      )
+    ]);
+  }
+
+  // Execute all checks simultaneously with individual timeouts
+  const results = await Promise.allSettled([
+    withTimeout(
+      searchDomain({ domain_name: brandName, tlds: ["com", "io", "dev"] }),
+      TIMEOUT_MS,
+      "domain_search"
+    ),
+    withTimeout(
+      checkSocials({ name: brandName, platforms: ["github", "twitter", "instagram"] }),
+      TIMEOUT_MS,
+      "social_check"
+    ),
+    withTimeout(
+      suggestDomains({ base_name: brandName, tld: "com", max_suggestions: 5 }),
+      TIMEOUT_MS,
+      "suggestions"
+    )
+  ]);
+
+  // Process results - handle both fulfilled and rejected
+  const [domainResult, socialResult, suggestionResult] = results;
+
+  return {
+    domains: domainResult.status === "fulfilled"
+      ? { success: true, data: domainResult.value }
+      : { success: false, error: domainResult.reason.message },
+    socials: socialResult.status === "fulfilled"
+      ? { success: true, data: socialResult.value }
+      : { success: false, error: socialResult.reason.message },
+    suggestions: suggestionResult.status === "fulfilled"
+      ? { success: true, data: suggestionResult.value }
+      : { success: false, error: suggestionResult.reason.message },
+    partialSuccess: results.some(r => r.status === "fulfilled"),
+    allSucceeded: results.every(r => r.status === "fulfilled")
+  };
+}
+
+// Usage
+const result = await simultaneousChecksWithPartialFailure("techstartup");
+if (result.partialSuccess) {
+  console.log("At least some checks completed:");
+  if (result.domains.success) console.log("  Domains:", result.domains.data.results.length);
+  if (result.socials.success) console.log("  Socials:", result.socials.data.results.length);
+}
+```
+
+#### Timeout Coordination Between Parallel Checks
+
+Coordinate timeouts across multiple parallel operations with AbortController:
+
+```typescript
+// Coordinated timeout with AbortController pattern
+async function coordinatedParallelChecks(brandName: string, globalTimeoutMs: number = 15000) {
+  const abortController = new AbortController();
+  const { signal } = abortController;
+
+  // Set global timeout that cancels all operations
+  const globalTimeout = setTimeout(() => {
+    abortController.abort();
+  }, globalTimeoutMs);
+
+  try {
+    // Track individual operation status for race condition handling
+    const operationStatus = {
+      domains: { started: Date.now(), completed: false, result: null as any },
+      socials: { started: Date.now(), completed: false, result: null as any }
+    };
+
+    const [domains, socials] = await Promise.all([
+      // Domain check with signal
+      (async () => {
+        if (signal.aborted) throw new Error("Aborted before start");
+        const result = await searchDomain({
+          domain_name: brandName,
+          tlds: ["com", "io", "dev"]
+        });
+        operationStatus.domains.completed = true;
+        operationStatus.domains.result = result;
+        return result;
+      })(),
+
+      // Social check with signal
+      (async () => {
+        if (signal.aborted) throw new Error("Aborted before start");
+        const result = await checkSocials({
+          name: brandName,
+          platforms: ["github", "twitter", "instagram"]
+        });
+        operationStatus.socials.completed = true;
+        operationStatus.socials.result = result;
+        return result;
+      })()
+    ]);
+
+    clearTimeout(globalTimeout);
+
+    return {
+      success: true,
+      domains,
+      socials,
+      timing: {
+        domainsMs: Date.now() - operationStatus.domains.started,
+        socialsMs: Date.now() - operationStatus.socials.started
+      }
+    };
+
+  } catch (error) {
+    clearTimeout(globalTimeout);
+
+    // Return partial results if some operations completed before abort
+    return {
+      success: false,
+      error: signal.aborted ? "Global timeout exceeded" : error.message,
+      partialResults: {
+        domains: operationStatus.domains.completed ? operationStatus.domains.result : null,
+        socials: operationStatus.socials.completed ? operationStatus.socials.result : null
+      }
+    };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Race Condition Handling: When Some APIs Fail Mid-Execution
+
+Handle scenarios where APIs fail partway through execution:
+
+```typescript
+// Race condition safe parallel execution with retry queue
+async function raceConditionSafeExecution(brandName: string) {
+  const MAX_RETRIES = 2;
+  const RETRY_DELAY_MS = 1000;
+
+  interface OperationResult<T> {
+    operation: string;
+    success: boolean;
+    data?: T;
+    error?: string;
+    attempts: number;
+    completedAt: number;
+  }
+
+  // Execute single operation with retry logic
+  async function executeWithRetry<T>(
+    operation: string,
+    fn: () => Promise<T>
+  ): Promise<OperationResult<T>> {
+    let lastError: Error | null = null;
+
+    for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= MAX_RETRIES; attempt++) {
+      try {
+        const data = await fn();
+        return {
+          operation,
+          success: true,
+          data,
+          attempts: attempt,
+          completedAt: Date.now()
+        };
+      } catch (error) {
+        lastError = error;
+
+        // Don't retry on non-retryable errors
+        if (error.code === "INVALID_DOMAIN" || error.code === "AUTH_ERROR") {
+          break;
+        }
+
+        // Wait before retry with exponential backoff
+        if (attempt < MAX_RETRIES) {
+          await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, RETRY_DELAY_MS * attempt));
+        }
+      }
+    }
+
+    return {
+      operation,
+      success: false,
+      error: lastError?.message || "Unknown error",
+      attempts: MAX_RETRIES,
+      completedAt: Date.now()
+    };
+  }
+
+  // Execute all operations in parallel with individual retry handling
+  const startTime = Date.now();
+
+  const results = await Promise.all([
+    executeWithRetry("search_domain", () =>
+      searchDomain({ domain_name: brandName, tlds: ["com", "io", "dev"] })

+    )
+  ]);
+
+  // Analyze results for race condition issues
+  const succeeded = results.filter(r => r.success);
+  const failed = results.filter(r => !r.success);
+
+  return {
+    brandName,
+    totalTime: Date.now() - startTime,
