Cause of death: the autopsy

Claude Design already exports to zip, HTML, PDF, PowerPoint and Canva, and the move goes into Anthropic's own Claude Code. The only signal was one line in a changelog. The radar scored it 12 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.
