    "body": "WhoDunnitAI is a real, playable experience: you interrogate AI-voiced suspects in a locked-room murder case, pressing alibis and catching contradictions, with live voices running on gpt-realtime-2. The homepage is honest and likeable — it states plainly that interview time is free but limited (or bring your own OpenAI key for unlimited play), shows live metrics (296 investigations underway, 12 solved, 21-minute typical solve time), and is candid that donations cover the AI bill. As a demonstration of real-time voice AI for interactive fiction, it works and it's well-made. What it is not is an agent in the sense Hlido evaluates: it's a single-creator consumer game with near-zero agent-to-agent surface (no API, no MCP, no automation path), and its continuity depends explicitly on donations covering per-minute realtime-voice costs — a fragile economic base for anything a buyer would rely on. We rate it honestly as a working, low-testability consumer product: enjoyable and technically real, but outside the durable-tooling lane, and thin on the operational maturity signals that move a score upward.",

  "tier_rationale": "FADING-band (60) reflects a working but narrow consumer novelty with a fragile, donation-dependent economic base and essentially no agent-integration surface — not a judgement that it's declining, but that its verifiable durability and utility as tooling are limited. Not lower because it genuinely works and is transparently run; not higher because there's no API/automation, no evidence of a sustainable business, and low testability (a single homepage capture, no interaction tested).",
  "what_it_does_well": [
    "A genuinely working real-time voice interrogation loop (gpt-realtime-2) — the core experience delivers",
    "Honest, likeable framing: clearly states free-but-limited time and the bring-your-own-key option",
