Cause of death: the autopsy

Tekmetric publishes a free index from 10,000+ shops by state, and other trackers exist.

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.
