Cause of death: the autopsy

The output is template-bound and agent-friendly, but the price is set by local human researchers at $14 to $28 per task, and only 1 named desk buyer appeared among 4,977 active projects. The pre-registered kill line (fewer than 3 firms) was hit; reaching buyers would also mean outreach, which is human-only.

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.
