    Only 40%? Would have thought it would be much higher. Don’t more projects generally fail then that without being in a bubble?

      I suspect they didn’t want to make it sound alarmist or something, but yes the real percentage is likely going to be higher, including a good chunk of “technically finished but remaining unused and forever idle on some box until it’s quietly shut down 5-10 years later.”

      The numbers are for failures in the next two years. Plenty of projects will coast that long on investment dollars.
