Cause of death: the autopsy

Anthropic scans submissions automatically and lists them as Community connectors by default, flagging missing fields itself; other tools (sunpeak, Alpic Beacon, Manufact) cover the rest. Scored 1 of 5.

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.
