## The "So What?" (Strategic Takeaway) {#so-what}

Franches-Montagnes is a travel app that is completely free.

<!-- speakable-start -->
> **Bottom Line:** Franches-Montagnes provides a stable offline reference for regional tourists, but its two-year update gap makes it a legacy asset, so the developer should sunset the app to reduce maintenance overhead.
<!-- speakable-end -->

**Best for:** Tourists and visitors planning a trip to the Franches-Montagnes region.

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

- [ ] [SUNSET] Sunset the native app because the 773-day update gap signals abandonment → reduce support overhead
<!-- /section:pm-actions -->

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

The regional travel guide market is consolidating around dynamic platforms that offer real-time data, leaving static apps like Franches-Montagnes in a defensive position. Without a pivot to a web-based directory, the app will continue to lose relevance as tourist expectations for live information grow.

- ⚪ The app remains in maintenance-mode with no updates for over two years, signaling a lack of active product investment.
