Cause of death: the autopsy

Phase 2 was due 10 November 2026, but on 13 July 2026 all pending and future milestones were suspended until further notice, citing prohibitive compliance costs and a shortage of assessors. It scored 8 of 25 in the forced-demand scan.

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.
