Cause of death: the autopsy

Flagged first in the plugin-decay lens, then measured: 63 of 73 top paid PrestaShop modules (86%) already declared version 9 compatibility, and version 8.2 is still patched so nobody is forced to move. The lens kill line (80%) was hit.

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.
