Cause of death: the autopsy

Stripe names another company its preferred e-invoicing partner in its own docs, which was this idea's stop rule, and Stripe is hiring an e-invoicing product manager. At least 8 products already sell the job, one at €9 a month, and US sellers aren't covered by the German rule. The red team cut the base from €0.5M to €20k 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.
