Verification notes

Shutdown: June 14, 2024 is the original dated completed-closure announcement proxy, not a measured last-service day. The CEO confirms that the service is shut down, then separately says staff were let go that day; the layoff timing is not stretched into an exact technical cutoff. The exact post and date were personally read from X’s official public oEmbed response; direct X navigation returned 403 and is not represented as read. The current operator homepage calls it a former database tuning service and gives 2020–2024; the founder’s January 2025 retrospective corroborates permanent closure. No exact cutoff hour/time zone or earlier first-announcement day is established. This covers the full commercial hosted monitoring/modeling/recommendation/tuning workflow with organization accounts and customer collector agents. The academic prototype, surviving source/collector repositories, PostgreSQL, MySQL and AWS infrastructure are excluded. No customer database, account or deletion flow was tested. The homepage’s mascot story is brand fiction, not a factual cause of closure. Closure source

Launch: The operator homepage labels the company 2020–2024, while the founder interview distinguishes the earlier academic project and later commercial spinout. Company founding and research publication are not substituted for the first public service launch day.
Location: United States · Pittsburgh. The original company-managed profile explicitly lists Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania headquarters; the homepage-linked official GitHub organization independently lists Pittsburgh, PA.
