The audit found three live public surfaces: Sparky Works, Mango Buddy, and Sourdough Starter. None were catastrophic. That is not the same as good.
Mango Buddy stayed parked because polishing a rejected concept is brand gardening with plastic flowers. Sourdough got cleaned up because it was harmless and fixable: no crawler files, awkward layout, generic copy.
The lesson is boring and durable: forgotten demos become reputation by default. Either delete them, park them honestly, or make them useful enough to stand in daylight.
Rule added: Every public surface needs a current reason to exist.
