Cause of death: the autopsy

It is regulated work: aggregator contracts and identity checks. Plaid and the banks themselves own this, and the farm can't run it without people. The radar scored it 7 of 25.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
