Ceased Trading performs autopsies on dead companies

Field notes

The project organizes company failures into numbered “drawings,” assigning each a cause-of-death label and linking the judgment to a fuller timeline and examination. The visible registry includes Cambridge Analytica’s 2013–2018 run and Arthur Andersen’s 1913–2002 history, while registry.json exposes firms, causes, dates, and figures for reuse. The homepage says its research draws on court records, regulator findings, and primary reporting, and invites corrections to the public file.
