Cause of death: the autopsy

Only 19% of 110 open scan-conversion jobs involved handwriting; frontier OCR is free, and buyers are labour-shoppers paying $2 to $284.

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.
