Cause of death: the autopsy

Free tools exist (Grammarly Authorship and GPTZero's replay), and two certification firms partnered on it in May 2026.

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.
