Cause of death: the autopsy

41 relevant scrapers existed and the most-used had 3 users, so no demand even at pay-per-result. 7 of 19 viewed inspection datasets were also frozen for over a year.

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.
