Churn-by-design one-shot consumer purchase: someone hit with a bogus SIXT charge buys one $29 brief, wins or loses, and never returns, so there's no MRR path and CAC must be recouped on a single sub-$30 sale. DoNotPay's implosion isn't a vacuum, it's the proof that auto-generated legal disputes carry accuracy liability that kills the category. The churn-by-design, one-time payment model ($9 per dispute) means you have to constantly acquire new angry customers at a cost higher than their lifetime value, destroying the economics.

Rental car companies like SIXT, Hertz, and Enterprise run a systematic extraction scheme: bill consumers $1,000+ for 'invisible damage' after returns, banking on the fact that nobody cross-references the full rental agreement, damage waiver terms, photo evidence, and local consumer protection statutes together. One community post alone — 'SIXT billed me $1035 for invisible damage' — pulled 4,095 upvotes and 473 comments, each one a horror story. The pattern is always the same: vague contract clauses that contradict the damage waiver, blurry photos of 'scratches' that predate the rental, and…
