What it sells
Faster processors for solving NP-complete problems
Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedEngineering/operations research teams running scheduling, routing and optimization workloads.
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
UnverifiedOptimization solves that are too slow to be practical in real time.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Developer swaps in IRX-Honu as a drop-in replacement for Google OR-Tools with a one-line code change to accelerate combinatorial optimization (21 NP-complete problems) through a hardware-accelerated API.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Claims 7,000x faster than state-of-the-art software on subset sum; revenue model (hardware/API) not stated.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
