Iritron scores 23/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Iritron has a weak AI-visibility profile at 23/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (50/100) and its weakest is visibility (0/100). It benefits from open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.) and machine-readable schema.org markup.

In a live check (September 2026), Claude could not identify Iritron from memory, confirming the gaps above.
