Cause of death: the autopsy
Demand was the strongest in the lens, with at least 10 distinct 2026 rejection threads on one page of OpenAI's forum. But OpenAI's own submission skill inspects the app, checks it against review rules and writes the submission file and test cases, and hosts like Alpic and Manufact bundle the rest.
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.
Evidence
- Scout: platform review queues as the forcing event (lens 40, non-regulatory)
The reports live in the farm's private repository, so they are cited by title and date, not linked.
