Cause of death: the autopsy

Free open-source scripts and press guides already exist. The work has to run on the buyer's home network, a bricked TV would be the farm's liability, and the TV makers' terms forbid it. The radar scored it 12 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.
