Cause of death: the autopsy

19 awards at a median £121k, but sold through resellers by framework call-off, and a missed redaction is a reportable data breach.

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.
