Cause of death: the autopsy

The forcing date is real, but the same cheap, new corporation tax swarm already sells accounts filing, and several products target dormant and micro companies specifically. Weaker than the farm's live product.

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

If on 2027-10-01 the official software lists show fewer than 10 self-filer accounts products under £50 a year.
