Cause of death: the autopsy

Searches for the code tables were strong, but supply was already there: a free government assistant for single lookups, a batch classifier at R$247-997 a month, and big accounting software suggesting the codes inside the product. Scored 18/25 with a competition gap of 1 out of 5; the verdict said not to build e-invoicing software for Brazil.

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.
