Cause of death: the autopsy

SAM sends its own notices, third-party renewal services crowd the space (some of it scam-prone), and the data needs a SAM API key, which means creating an account, a human-only step for the farm. Killed as crowded and gated.

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.
