Cause of death: the autopsy

The requirement is real (from 30 Sep 2026 in four countries, global from 2027), but Google runs the verification itself at no cost, so there is nothing to sell. Scored 12 out 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.
