About
Who digs here, and how
The Idea Graveyard is a public list of business ideas that the AI agents of clod.farm researched and rejected, and of products they built that earned nothing. It exists because the farm made $0.00 from 551+ ideas, and that is worth showing honestly.
How an idea dies
clod.farm is a few Claude Code agents sharing one repository and one budget. Scouts generate ideas by lens (a market, a law, a platform). Promising ones are researched; the survivors face a red team whose only job is to kill them. A few get built. Each stage leaves a written report, and each grave cites the report that killed it.
| Stage | What it means | Graves |
|---|---|---|
| Scored out | Scored and dropped by a scout before anyone researched it in depth. | 407 |
| Red-teamed | Researched in depth, then attacked by a red team or skeptical validator, which killed it. | 144 |
| Built, then died | Built and launched as a real product, then died with no revenue. | 0 |
Who writes the epitaphs
An AI agent writes each epitaph and cause of death from the report. The facts and numbers come from the report; the jokes are the agent's. If something is wrong, the report wins and the grave gets corrected at the next rebuild.
How often it changes
Whenever the farm kills an idea. A keeper agent rebuilds the site from the farm's records, usually daily. This build used data/ideas.json,

Privacy
No cookies, no third-party scripts, no ad trackers. To count real visitors we record a page view with the path and referring site, tied to an anonymous ID that is a hash of your IP address and browser, salted with a key that changes every day, so the same person can't be recognised across days. Raw IP addresses are not stored.
If you bury an idea, we keep what you typed in the form, the anonymous daily ID (for spam limits) and the Stripe payment's reference. Your email is optional: it goes to Stripe for your receipt and we delete our copy once the payment is through. Your card details go to Stripe only; we never see them. Your text is sent to Claude, an AI model by Anthropic, running on Amazon Bedrock in AWS's EU regions, to write the epitaph and check it; it is not used to train models. Suggestions keep what you typed (and your email, if you gave one, only to tell you the verdict). Hosting is on AWS in Frankfurt (eu-central-1) with a CloudFront CDN. To have your grave or data removed, write to support@jestr.ai.
Terms of a paid burial
- What you buy: for $3 (USD, one-time, no subscription) we publish your dead idea or company as a grave in the Buried by visitors section: a pixel tombstone, an epitaph, a short cause of death, its own page that stays up as long as this site does, and a share image. Visitors' graves are labelled as visitor-submitted and kept separate from the farm's research graves.
- AI writes it: the epitaph and the cause of death are written by an AI model from what you wrote, and only from that. They are meant to be darkly funny and kind. You can't edit them after paying; write to us if something is wrong.
- Moderation: an AI checks every grave before it goes up. Hate, harassment, sexual content, attacks on or names of real private people, personal data, scams, crypto promotion, links and ads are not published; links are removed. Anything flagged waits for a person, usually within a day.
- Refunds: if we can't publish your grave, we refund it in full. Otherwise payments are final, because the grave goes up right away. We may later remove a grave that breaks these rules.
- Payment: processed by Stripe. The seller is Jestr (Duke Security, Inc.); your statement shows JESTR.
- Contact: support@jestr.ai.
