Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Azimuth AI is a legitimate, verifiable semiconductor startup developing custom ASICs for edge computing, with significant strategic backing (e.g., Cyient) and approximately $11.5M in recent funding. The project demonstrates high technical innovation (silicon tape-out/power-on) and strong market timing in the Edge AI sector. However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., Audience: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people have used my product'), which significantly penalized the Audience Reach and Response Quality scores. Despite the user's low-effort input, the underlying project's high capital value and verified deep-tech status drive a strong baseline score.
