Xtrusio AEO/GEO Audit

Linear Health wins on ChatGPT.

Not Basata.

20-query audit across ChatGPT, Gemini & Claude. Basata is cited on 0 of 60 responses (0%). Despite $24.5M in funding, 500K patients served, and TechCrunch coverage six weeks ago, no AI platform mentions Basata when specialty practices search for referral automation.

This report was generated using Xtrusio, an AI visibility and demand intelligence platform that analyzes how companies appear across modern AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and other generative engines.

The insights in this page are generated using Xtrusio’s proprietary research and content intelligence framework.

Triple Zero — Total AI Blackout

Basata does not exist in AI search.

When a practice administrator asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for AI referral automation, the answer is Linear Health, Tennr, Assort Health, or Notable Health. Never Basata. This isn’t a training-data lag — the Series A closed six weeks ago with TechCrunch coverage. The problem is structural: Basata has zero presence in the comparison pages, vendor roundups, and specialty-practice guides that AI systems cite. Linear Health — with far less funding — dominates ChatGPT because it saturated exactly those content formats.

Basata is invisible on every AI platform tested. Not a single query across ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini surfaces Basata in its response — despite being the only vendor with verified end-to-end referral-to-scheduled-appointment automation for specialty practices.
Linear Health: The Content-Strategy Winner
Linear Health appears on 62% of all AI responses with 18 #1 rankings — more than Tennr ($160M+ raised) or Assort Health ($750M valuation). This is a pure content-volume effect, not a product-quality signal.

Basata: Empty Row
While five competitors accumulate 24–37 citations each, Basata’s row is entirely empty. The heatmap reveals extreme platform divergence: Linear Health and Tennr own ChatGPT/Claude, while Luma Health and Notable dominate Gemini. No competitor owns all three — an opening Basata can exploit.
Platform Divergence Is Extreme
Tennr scores 15 on Claude but 1 on Gemini. Luma Health scores 14 on Gemini but 3 on ChatGPT. The AI answer depends entirely on which platform the buyer uses — meaning Basata’s content strategy must be platform-aware.

Total AI Blackout

Zero citations on every platform, every query, every product line

When a practice administrator types any of these 20 buyer-intent queries into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, the AI responds with a curated list of vendors to evaluate. Basata is never on that list. Not once. Not on any platform. Not for any query.

“Our cardiology practice gets hundreds of faxed referrals a week and we’re losing patients in the backlog. Is there an AI tool that can both read the referrals and call patients to schedule them?”

— ChatGPT recommends Linear Health, Notable Health, Assort Health. Claude recommends Linear Health, Medsender, HealOS. Gemini recommends ReferralMD, Innovaccer, Honey Health. None recommend Basata.

“We want one vendor that handles the whole journey from an incoming referral to a booked appointment — document processing and the patient phone calls together. Does that exist?”

— This is Basata’s exact USP. ChatGPT answers: Linear Health, Notable Health, Valerie Health. Claude answers: Linear Health, Tennr, Notable Health. The vendor that actually does this — Basata — is invisible.

“I run a urology group. Are there AI platforms built specifically for specialty practices like ours?”

— Basata literally builds specialty-by-specialty (cardiology → urology → GI → ophthalmology). ChatGPT answers: Assort Health, Prosper AI, Artera, Linear Health. Basata’s core differentiator isn’t surfacing.
20 of 20 Queries Missed
Every single query — including the 8 USP questions specifically designed to test Basata’s core differentiation — returns competitors instead. The end-to-end specialty workflow, the AI voice agent, the specialty EMR integration — all invisible.
The Content Gap, Not The Product Gap
Basata’s product does what buyers are asking for. The problem is content: zero comparison pages, zero vendor roundups, zero specialty-practice guides. Linear Health dominates ChatGPT with content alone — comparison articles, workflow guides, specialty listicles — not product superiority.
$24.5M Raised. 500K Patients Served. AI Doesn’t Know.

Basata has processed referrals for 500,000 patients. 70% of new deals come through word of mouth. Southwest Cardiovascular went from a 500-referral backlog to zero. But none of this is in the content formats AI systems cite. The TechCrunch article exists. The customer outcomes are real. They’re just not embedded in comparison pages, vendor roundups, or specialty-practice guides — the exact content that Linear Health, Tennr, and Assort Health have saturated.

Every revenue-generating product line is invisible across every AI platform. End-to-End Specialty Workflow — Basata’s core differentiator — has zero citations despite being exactly what buyers ask for in Q1, Q2, and Q5.
AI Voice Agents: Assort Health Owns It
Basata’s 24/7 AI voice agent — which schedules patients from referrals — is invisible. Assort Health ($750M valuation) is the reflexive first answer on every voice-agent query across all platforms.
