Cause of death: the autopsy

Scored 13 out of 25 after a major AI lab launched always-on agents with their own cloud computer. The business would ride one vendor's product and its name, which is both a trademark risk and a platform risk.

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.
