<!-- section:pm-actions -->
### PM Action Plan (Next Best Moves)

- [ ] [SUNSET] Sunset The Mall Guide because the 835-day update gap indicates a lack of viable product-market fit → eliminate brand drag
<!-- /section:pm-actions -->

<!-- section:outlook -->
### Outlook: Declining

The navigation category is increasingly dominated by platforms that provide real-time, high-frequency data updates, leaving static tools like The Mall Guide at a disadvantage. The lack of activity for over two years suggests the product is no longer a priority, which will lead to further user churn and eventual obsolescence.

- 🔴 The 835-day update gap indicates a complete cessation of development, which erodes user trust and platform compatibility over time.
