async function assessClient(domain) {
  const headers = { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' };

  const [email, security, trust, performance] = await Promise.all([
    fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/score/email?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),
    fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/score/security?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),
    fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/score/trust?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),
    fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/score/performance?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),
  ]);

  const scores = await Promise.all([
    email.json(), security.json(), trust.json(), performance.json()
  ]);

  // Calculate overall risk from grades
  const gradeRank = { 'A': 1, 'B': 2, 'C': 3, 'D': 4, 'F': 5 };
  const avgRank = (
    gradeRank[scores[0].data.grade] +
    gradeRank[scores[1].data.grade] +
    gradeRank[scores[3].data.grade]
  ) / 3;
  const overallRisk = avgRank <= 2 ? 'low' : avgRank <= 3 ? 'medium' : 'high';

  return {
    domain,
    email: scores[0].data.grade,
    security: scores[1].data.grade,
    trust: scores[2].data.risk_level,
    performance: scores[3].data.grade,
    overallRisk,
