I don’t agree with any of your criteria for “death”. All of those sound totally survivable. “EA exits its recent high-growth phase” is very different from dying.
I would modify them to:
Significant year-on-year decreases in funding
Significant year-on-year decreases in self-identifying EAs
i.e. we transition to a negative growth regime and stay there.
And I think we could survive a lot of organizational collapse so I wouldn’t even include that.
