Cause of death: the autopsy

Real pain, but the documentation platform Mintlify sells it as a built-in workflow and open-source tools exist.

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.
