Cause of death: the autopsy

It fell under the crowding threshold only because the niche is tiny: $75-150 jobs, franchise competition and generic rental tools already serving it. Recorded so no one retries.

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.
