Built first.
Wrong order.
Revision Reconciler was a one-time offline browser tool for comparing two economic time-series vintages.
The software worked. The business case did not: there was no validated buyer demand and no credible path for buyers to discover it without personal promotion.
THE RESULT
Zero customers. Zero purchases. Zero revenue.
The checkout is off.

Distribution is part of the product.
A narrow user story and a functioning payment path were not evidence that anyone wanted this product. An SEO article would have made another page, not a market.
The experiment was stopped instead of waiting out its original 30-day deadline. No new invoice can be created and no buyer data was collected.
