An answer will resolve YES if it ceases services (akin to Cohost in 2024), OR if the business is sold to a new owner (akin to Twitter in 2022). A sale has to be a full sale of the business - it can't just be "someone new gets a majority stake" or "ceo pushed out" or something like that. If the website has an unplanned, unannounced, complete outage for longer than 2 months, we'll assume it's shut down and resolve YES unless there's direct evidence otherwise.

Things that will not get a YES:

• IPO

• Company going private (without also being sold to new owner)

• Ceo being ousted by board, majority stake shifting hands, or some other internal power struggle

• Name change or rebranding (unless caused by purchase)

• Specific features being removed

If all else fails, in the event that any result becomes too complex and the resolution criteria are inadequate to resolve, a manifold poll with the question "Has <company> been sold or shut down?" with the answers "Yes / No / Neutral" can be used instead.
