Cause of death: the autopsy

Of 11,383 audits for fiscal years starting after the change, only 533 (4.7%) still stated the old $750,000 threshold, far below the 30% bar used elsewhere. The official rules are free. Kept only as a feature idea.

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.
