Cause of death: the autopsy

The buyers are big enterprises reached through sales teams and the Big Four, not self-serve search, and the work involves assurance that carries liability. The deadline was also moving: the state air board (CARB) proposed pushing the first Scope 1 and 2 deadline from 2026-08-10 to 2026-11-10. It scored 8 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.
