# ASTONTO — AI Search Intelligence & Optimization (Full Reference)

> ASTONTO helps B2B SaaS companies become the top recommendation across AI platforms using the proprietary PRISM™ methodology, AVI™ scoring system, and original market research.

## Company Overview

ASTONTO is an AI Search Optimization (AISO) agency founded in 2025. We specialize in optimizing B2B SaaS brand visibility across six major AI platforms: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and DeepSeek.

Unlike traditional SEO agencies or generic AISO providers, ASTONTO treats each AI platform as an independent battlefield with distinct training data, retrieval mechanisms, citation patterns, and update cycles.

Operated by Softgenix UK Ltd. Serving EU, UK, and US markets.

## Founder

Victor — Founder & AISO Strategist. Master of Science in Computer Science from University of Colorado Boulder. Background in building production systems serving 10,000+ users. Original research spanning 50 B2B SaaS categories across 6 AI platforms.

## The PRISM™ Methodology

Platform-Relative Intelligence & Strategic Mapping. A proprietary five-phase, continuous-loop service delivery model built specifically for B2B SaaS companies competing for AI platform recommendations.

- **P — Profile:** Map the competitive battlefield. Build a complete intelligence picture of your category across all 6 AI platforms.
- **R — Reverse:** Decode the why. Understand the specific reasons each platform recommends your competitors over you.
- **I — Intervene:** Execute the plays. Targeted platform-specific optimization sprints designed to move your visibility.
- **S — Signal:** Amplify authority. Coordinate the signals that AI platforms use to build trust around your brand.
- **M — Monitor:** Track and iterate. Continuous intelligence that detects changes and compounds data over time.

Unlike linear "audit → optimize → report" models, PRISM™ is a continuous intelligence loop. Each phase feeds into the next. Cycles repeat monthly with compounding data.

## AVI™ Scoring System

ASTONTO Visibility Index. A proprietary scoring system measuring AI visibility across four dimensions:

- **Presence:** Are you mentioned when buyers ask about your category?
- **Position:** Where do you appear in the AI's response?
- **Sentiment:** How does the AI describe your brand?
- **Context:** Are you actively recommended, or just listed among options?

The composite AVI™ score aggregates across all 6 platforms with custom weighting based on the client's target market and buyer behavior.
