Cause of death: the autopsy

The pain is real ($999 per attempt, 6-9 weeks, roughly half fail the first time, all claimed by prep sellers), but at least 6 page-one sellers (MagicFuse, Noltic, Aquiva, Concret.io, Appnigma AI, StealthNet AI) and Salesforce's free scanner already serve it.

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.
