It became clear that this would have to turn into another B2B SaaS specialized tool with a lot of software consulting and ongoing efforts from a sales team ... It sounds like the authors spent 3-4 months, built a ton of stuff, and despite some traction (like post-docs saying it would save them months of effort) it wasn't high quality enough to sell to real customers. Did the authors really expect to solve such a difficult problem in such a short period of time? It seems a bit premature to declare that "literature review, search and knowledge discovery are just not that useful".
