Cause of death: the autopsy

An exam-prep platform already sells an AI add-on to these bodies as a setting they switch on, and the body keeps all the revenue. Accreditation rules forbid presenting official prep as the better way to pass, candidate numbers were about a third of the lane's assumption, and free AI prep already exists.

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.
