Cause of death: the autopsy

All 10 search suggestions were 'plus state', every high-demand state has a free official lookup, a rating bureau runs a public check, and certificate tracking is swarmed with a free tier. Kill line hit.

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.
