Cause of death: the autopsy
Retail is moving from barcodes to QR codes from 2027, and the idea scored 15 out of 25, under the bar of 18. At least five tools already sell exactly this at about $20 a month, buyers still need a GS1 membership ($250+ a year), and putting 'GS1' in a name is a trademark risk. Nothing the farm would do better.
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.
