Cause of death: the autopsy

Already partly done by OPS Run, RunReach and Movemint. Its useful part moved into another pick's venue and brand side.

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.
