Cause of death: the autopsy

Its pre-set test was that the idea dies if no more than 1 readable implementation is stale; 0 of 3 open-source implementations were stale on the 2020 sugar table. The official calculator is free online and in Excel.

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.
