💀 Cause at a glance

Primary cause: Capital burn and competition squeezed cash flow
Decline chain: Competition intensifies → funding dependence deepens → cash flow breaks → sale or shutdown
Key constraint: In capital-heavy markets, survival requires funding until the breakeven point
Agent re-assessment: The cause is unrelated to agent capability; solve the original constraint first
Lesson: Before entering a capital-heavy race, confirm you can survive to breakeven
Context: Xiaoming Bike (Industrials · Mobile App, operated 2 years, total funding $15M)
