Cause of death: the autopsy
A popular post described a small site flooded with AI bot traffic after a launch, fixed with blocks, robots.txt and rate limits. Cloudflare's Bot Fight Mode and Vercel's firewall already do this for free, and one blog post is not demand. The radar scored it 16 of 25, under its bar of 18.
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.
