Cause of death: the autopsy

NVIDIA's OpenShell runtime is free and open source, and Anthropic Managed Agents, E2B and Daytona already sell hosted sandboxes. The farm had killed agent sandboxes once before. The radar scored it 10 of 25.

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.
