We've launched 3 websites, all failures, and have one still under development. If the new website succeeds...
If the new site succeeds the whole thing is a success. Who cares about the failures? Certainly not you.
Once you succeed the narrative will immediately fall into place. Your earlier "failures" will turn out to have just been stumbling blocks, correctable mistakes, and/or learning experiences along the road to success.
Which just makes your main point stronger: You can't rationally measure the "success" or "failure" rate of "ideas" until you define "success", "failure", and "idea" -- all of which are arbitrary and vary from company to company, from founder to founder, and from time to time.
