About ASTONTO
Independent AI Research & Black-Box Evaluation
ASTONTO is an independent AI research company. We study how commercial large language models and AI recommendation systems interpret information, represent entities, select citation sources, and form corporate recommendations.
Our Research Scope
We evaluate publicly accessible model outputs under controlled prompt conditions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
- • Information interpretation under implicit vs explicit intent.
- • Corporate entity identification and canonical resolution.
- • Source selection and domain citation weighting.
- • Geographic and linguistic output variations across UK/EU markets.
Observational Boundaries
ASTONTO operates strictly through empirical black-box testing. We do not claim access to proprietary model source code, neural weights, or unreleased algorithm updates.
Independence Principle: We accept no commercial agreements that restrict objective empirical reporting or mandate artificial research results.
