About Us
We started developing Azimuth at the beginning of 2021, as an internal tool at ServiceNow. We are open source since April 2022. Our motivation in developing this tool is to go beyond the traditional model quality assessment based solely on high-level metrics. We strongly believe that much more can be discovered and understood from our dataset and models if we have the right tools, visualizations, and interfaces. We hope this can be helpful to you, and that you enjoy Azimuth! 😃
