Cause of death: the autopsy

The Seattle tool covers 457 verified rules across 80 jurisdictions, but a search finds PermitMint, Pass Your Permits (500+ cities), PermitZen and county tools. Rejected as crowded.

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.
