Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project describes a deep tech consultancy with highly ambitious technical capabilities (e.g., 3D deep learning for proteins, smart grids), which suggests strong theoretical utility. However, the submission provides contradictory and unsupported metrics. Claims such as 'everyone' for target audience and 'most people have used my product' are unrealistic for a B2B service and severely undermine the credibility of its traction. Evaluated as a small-scale consultancy with minimal verifiable traction and poor response quality.

Description
YaiYai Ltd is a deep tech company co-founded by a team of MIT graduates, who have previously led research and engineering efforts at premier corporations such as Microsoft Research, Amazon A9, State Street Associates, Israeli Ministry of Finance, World Bank, and IBM Research. YaiYai provides AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Quantum-driven expertise and customized software solutions across domains to startups, public enterprises, and leading companies in Europe, US, and Asia (e.g., among others, its clients include one of the largest gaming companies in the world, and a biopharma major from Europe). YaiYai experts have co-invented some of the most innovative technologies, including, (1) the first graph-based 3D deep learning model for designing new proteins, (2) the first near-optimal method for integrating renewable energy (including demand management, generator scheduling, etc.) into smart grids (deployed by Govt. of Brunei), and (3) the most powerful adaptive model, currently, for fraud and anomaly prediction, and (4) large-scale data redundancy removal (deployed by one of the largest telecom companies in Asia).
