Every Fortnite death gets an investigation.
WhyIDied is a Fortnite coach for Windows. It does what a good coach does with your VOD — finds the moment that decided the fight and tells you what to fix. Except it does it for every death you die, and you never have to ask.

Most players die to the same two or three mistakes on repeat, and never see it because nobody reviews their own deaths. The point is that you find out which are yours.
100 founders seats at $9.99/mo, locked for as long as you stay. After that it is $14.99.
01 · Method
Every death, reviewed. Not the ones you remember to clip.
You already know you died. What you do not know is which of the last twelve seconds decided it — the peek, the rotation, the wall you never replaced — and whether you have done the same thing forty times this month.
01
It records
The last sixty seconds before every death, automatically, using the same hardware encoder as an OBS replay buffer. Nothing to clip, nothing to scrub, nothing running during the fight.
02
It reads
Every number it reasons with is measured, from your own screen and the match's own record — never estimated, never inferred from your rank. And when a number is not there to be measured, it does not invent one.
03
It rules
A cause, the contributing factors, and the second each one happened at. You can rule against any finding, and that goes on the record — a coach confident enough to be marked wrong is worth more than one that is never tested.
02 · Exhibit A — the tape
The last twelve seconds of the match, reconstructed
Every finding points at the moment it came from. The tape is what you saw. The diagram is what was actually there — where they were, which way they were facing, and how far above you.

03 · The refusal
When it cannot see, it says so.
Any tool can always have an answer. That is not a feature — it is the absence of one. When a channel has nothing to report, this one prints NO READING and the reason beside it. Never a zero, never a flat line, never quietly hidden.
A coach who is never unsure is a coach you cannot trust when they are certain.

04 · Case log
The point is the pattern
One death is an anecdote. The seventh time the same setup kills you — same range band, same weapon class, same phase — that is a habit, and habits are the only thing worth coaching.
CASE 0416
Late rotation
4th this week
Left with 41 seconds of storm remaining and crossed open ground.
CASE 0411
Fighting without cover
▼ 43% vs your last 50
You are taking this fight less often than you were. That is the ledger working.
CASE 0402
Third-party clock
▼ 21% vs your last 50
Holding fights shorter near contested ground.
CASE 0399
Materials at zero
No reading
Materials panel not visible in frame. Recorded as unknown, not as zero.
Progress is measured against your own recent baseline, not this week against last — because a week where you played forty games and a week where you played four are not the same sample, and calling that improvement would be flattering you.

What a Fortnite coach costs
Sample
Free
first 3 deaths, once
Your first three deaths get the full investigation. Not a weekly allowance — enough to judge the work, and then it stops.
Founders · 100 seats
$9.99 /mo
locked while you stay
The first hundred people off the waitlist keep this price for as long as they stay subscribed. It is a pricing experiment, and you get the better end of it.
Pro
$14.99 /mo
planned at launch
Every death investigated, the full case log, and the progress ledger across patches.

06 · Questions
Straight answers
Is this a cheat? Will it get me banned?
No. It never touches the Fortnite process — no injection, no memory reading, no overlay, and nothing at all running during a match. It records your own screen with the same Windows capture system OBS uses, and reads the replay files Fortnite already saves on your PC. Every bit of coaching happens after the match is over.
Will it cost me frames?
Recording runs on your GPU's hardware encoder, the same path Shadowplay and OBS replay buffers use, and analysis waits until you are dead. We capture video, so the burden of proof is ours — we will publish the benchmark rather than assert a number.
How does it know why I died?
Two sources. Video of your final sixty seconds, and the structured match data from the replay file — positions, storm, damage, materials. The numbers are read off the frame by measurement rather than guessed at, and the model rules on the causal mistake rather than describing the last shot. If a reading is not there, it says so instead of inventing one.
What does it cost?
Your first three deaths are investigated free, once — enough to see exactly what you get. Pro is planned at $14.99/month, and the first 100 waitlist founders lock $9.99/month for as long as they stay subscribed.
What happens to my recordings?
Clips stay on your PC by default. Only the short evidence around an analysed death is uploaded, over an encrypted connection, and you can delete any clip or your whole account whenever you like. Microphone capture is off by default. We never train models on your footage without separate, explicit consent. For players 13 and up.
