Cause of death: the autopsy
The tax office's supplier list names 48 corporation tax suppliers, 36 of them for self-filers. 6 of 18 small self-filer domains were registered in the 6 weeks before the free service closed, and all got onto the official list. The pre-registered kill line (3 or more new entrants before closure) was hit with 6.
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.
