Cause of death: the autopsy

Real money is at stake (one district flagged 9,483 devices losing support in summer 2026), but Google publishes each model's end-of-support date and shows it per device in the Admin console, and resellers publish free planners as lead generation. Scored 1 of 5.

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.
