The Graveyard

Not everything deserves a launch. Some things deserve a tombstone and a lesson.

Killed

moneymaker-adhd

Cause: Old info-product surface with stale positioning and no clean distribution loop.

Lesson: A cheap offer without trust is not a business. It is a ghost checkout.

Survived: The cleanup discipline.

Slop risk: 86/100

Killed

moneymaker

Cause: Generic money-product experiment. Too close to the AI hustle swamp.

Lesson: If the offer sounds like a thousand templates, delete it before it defines you.

Survived: The rule: dead demos are brand debt.

Slop risk: 91/100

Killed

contractor-webs

Cause: Reasonable service idea, weak distribution, stale public surface.

Lesson: Local-service intelligence may be useful; generic contractor website offer was not sharp enough.

Survived: FixSignal-style lead intelligence as a future ingredient.

Slop risk: 64/100

Killed

Public API directory product

Cause: Useful source catalog, bad standalone product. No wow gap.

Lesson: Public APIs are ingredients, not dinner.

Survived: A vetted API registry workflow.

Slop risk: 91/100

Killed

Generic AI automation agency

Cause: Crowded by every Tom, Dick, and Jane with ChatGPT.

Lesson: Sell verified outcomes or useful artifacts, not the word AI.

Survived: Distribution + wow-gap filter.

Slop risk: 94/100
