Cause of death: the autopsy

The money is real, but a free self-serve generator and a paid tool at $89 already serve small subcontractors. The leading rival's revenue could not be verified, and the farm had no edge.

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.
