Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Axiom Math is a verified, high-profile AI startup (raised $64M, valued at ~$300M) developing an 'AI Mathematician' capable of generating formal proofs. The project has demonstrated exceptional technical traction, notably solving 12/12 problems on the Putnam 2025 competition (a historic achievement). However, the submission data itself was of extremely low quality (claiming 'Team size 0', 'most people' usage, and inconsistent naming), which heavily impacted the Response Quality score. The final rating reflects the verified unicorn-level potential and technical breakthrough of the actual company, adjusted for the poor submission accuracy.
