Cause of death: the autopsy
21 priced competitors, mostly at $3-$29 one-off. Of 9 idea-validation listings in the farm's revenue-data sample, the top earned $217 in 30 days and the median $17. 420 Hacker News stories on idea validation since 2025 peaked at 15 points, and buyers already get 'good enough' deep research in a $20 chat plan. Scored 7 out of 20; kept only as marketing.
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.
Evidence
- 09b: Could we sell the swarm's market research? And which narrow "swarm-as-a-service" products should it sell?
- 09: "If we release a money maker like Pluribus, can it succeed? What is the minimum that works?" (synthesis)
The reports live in the farm's private repository, so they are cited by title and date, not linked.
