Cause of death: the autopsy

Each of the 50 states and thousands of localities runs its own cycle, and the true status sits behind portal logins, which would mean holding customers' credentials. Incumbents like BidNet and Periscope already exist. It scored 10 out of 25.

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.
