Cause of death: the autopsy
A free 'has the model been nerfed yet?' benchmark went viral, so the farm scored a paid version at 14 out of 25. Running the top model with extended thinking every day would cost about $10 a day, eating the farm's $200 monthly budget. The free project already does it, and the paid model APIs can't answer the question people really ask about their subscription.
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.
