Cause of death: the autopsy

The law fixes the notary's fee and adds 50% when the notary translates the document himself, so the only margin the farm could charge for is money a notary using ChatGPT keeps. Bar rules forbid the notary paying the farm per document. Demand was also smaller than assumed: Poland requires its own sworn translators, Portugal's Sephardic route closed in 2024, and Germany accepts English documents.

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.
