"See clearly.

Ashford & Sterling, 2026
In brief
Ashford & Sterling is an AI Agency and AI Consultancy — an AI Solutions Agency and AI Automation Agency specialised in Claude by Anthropic. We advise, train and implement Claude into production.
Our offering spans advisory and architecture, team training, installation and implementation (Claude Code, Claude Cowork, MCP, Agent Skills, the Claude API, a sovereign RAG engine, n8n automation and business AI agents), plus our founding AI visibility audit (SEO/GEO) — now one building block among others.
Our expertise
Ashford & Sterling is an expert in training, installation and implementation of Anthropic Claude systems. We design, deploy and drive adoption of Claude in production, with the depth of a specialist rather than the surface of a generalist consultancy. Our AI visibility audit remains one building block of the portfolio, now one part among others.
Advisory & architecture
Use-case scoping, Claude architecture (Claude Code, Cowork, MCP, Agent Skills, Claude API) and the right model for each case, with no vendor lock-in.
Training
Upskilling your teams on Claude, by our Anthropic Claude Expert Consultants.
Installation & implementation
Deploying Claude into production: RAG engine, business agents, n8n automation, integration with your information system, governance and supervision.
AI visibility · SEO/GEO
Our founding building block: the AI Perception Audit™ and optimisation of your visibility across AI answers. Now one part of the portfolio.
The approach
Our AI Perception Audit™ scans six major AI platforms across 14 standardised scenarios. You receive an independent, reproducible diagnostic with a clear score out of 100 — not opinions, but structured intelligence.
We deliver a prioritised remediation plan — not a generic checklist. Every recommendation is budgeted, time-bound, and mapped to specific KPIs. You know exactly what to fix, in what order, and what it will cost.
We don't disappear after the report: we implement Claude into production, from architecture to deployment, and can also work alongside your internal teams. Design, deployment, accountability.
We don't just tell you what's wrong. We ensure it gets fixed.
Our solutions
A structured action plan with prioritised recommendations, estimated budgets, implementation timeline, and measurable KPIs. Not a PDF on a shelf — a roadmap to execution.
We implement Claude ourselves, from architecture to production. When you prefer to keep your existing agencies, IT teams or providers, we strengthen and align their efforts.
AI platforms evolve monthly. Your score must be tracked over time. We measure your progress, benchmark against competitors, and adjust the strategy as the landscape shifts.
Board-level sessions that translate technical AI perception data into strategic business impact. Designed for decision-makers who need clarity, not jargon.
Expanding the scope
Your knowledge, AI-ready
Make your internal documents queryable by AI. We assess whether your organisation needs a RAG system, recommend the right architecture, and ensure GDPR compliance — before you invest. Internal chatbot for staff or external assistant for clients.

The audit is a snapshot. AI perception evolves constantly. Our monthly monitoring tracks your visibility across 7 platforms, triggers alerts on degradation, and produces quarterly evolution reports with adjusted recommendations.
Your web presence, AI-ready
No IT department? No reliable digital partner? We create or rebuild your website with AI-era architecture — structured data, semantic HTML, performance-first, mobile-native. A digital foundation designed from day one to be understood by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and every AI system that will shape your future visibility.

We audit your AI visibility and the SEO fundamentals that drive it, then we implement Claude and the chosen solutions, or work with your teams when you prefer. Our independence comes from being anchored on Claude and taking no vendor commission, not from refusing to execute.
Your organisation already has partners — agencies, IT teams, content creators. We don't compete with them. We make them more effective by providing the strategic direction and quality control they need to align with AI platform requirements.
Every recommendation is tied to a specific, trackable KPI. Your AI Perception score evolves over time — you see the impact of every action. No vague promises. No unmeasurable advice. Numbers that move.
AI perception is not a one-time fix. Platforms change, competitors adapt, algorithms evolve. We stay engaged through quarterly monitoring and strategic recalibration — because the landscape never stops moving.
Today, your clients search on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini. Your digital presence must be readable by humans and AI alike.
