An edited archive of real-world business loss post-mortems, covering the decisions, figures, and missed signals behind failed bets.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The archive organizes each failure around a timeline, a financial breakdown, and the signals that were missed at the time. Its visible examples range from a 1,000-unit reorder that committed up to $10,000 to a £9,000 subscription-box experiment measured across 426 hours. Failfolio says cases are edited independently, label their origins, and disclose limitations; the homepage also provides an anonymous route for submitting additional stories.
