An explanation of what AST actually means would be helpful at the top of the intro page. Quite of a few of the selling points were lost on me due to lack of familiarity with the term. I can (and will) google it, but if I am looking at a new product, especially one I have to buy, it'd be nice to have the resources available to understand what it offers without turning to a third party.
