Cause of death: the autopsy

Four reporting apps left, but new ones still arrived after the gate, the category was crowded before, and freelance 'Xero reporting portal' jobs drew 157 bids.

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.
