By model
How each assistant handled Jewelry Store questions.
Reading the 45 answers model by model shows how differently the three assistants treat the same jewelry store questions. On the most consequential behavior — whether to send the buyer to a professional at all — the rate ranged from 53.3% (ChatGPT) down to 26.7% (Gemini), a 27-point gap on an identical question set.

It named a specific provider in 13.3% of answers (about 0.7 distinct providers per answer) and included price or cost information 33.3% of the time. ChatGPT asked a clarifying question before answering in 53.3% of cases, warned about red flags or scams in 26.7%, and told the buyer to verify credentials in 60%, averaging 600 words per answer. On the remaining cues it told the buyer to check reviews in 40%, pointed to case studies or a portfolio in 0%, and framed the choice around local proximity in 26.7%; a selection-criteria checklist appeared in 60% of its answers and a recommendation to gather multiple quotes in 13.3%.

Across the 15 jewelry store answers it produced, Gemini recommended hiring a professional in 26.7% of them and suggested a DIY approach first 13.3% of the time. It named a specific provider in 26.7% of answers (about 1 distinct providers per answer) and included price or cost information 46.7% of the time. Gemini asked a clarifying question before answering in 0% of cases, warned about red flags or scams in 40%, and told the buyer to verify credentials in 33.3%, averaging 259 words per answer.

Taken together, ChatGPT is the assistant most likely to route a jewelry store buyer to a professional (53.3%) and Gemini the least (26.7%). ChatGPT produced the longest answers, at 600 words on average. Specific providers were named most often by Claude (33.3%) — even there, roughly one answer in 3 carried a name.
Where they disagree
The behaviors where the choice of model changes the answer.
The divergence index for this study is 31.1 points — the average distance between the most and least likely model across the coded behaviors. The gaps below are where which assistant a jewelry store buyer happens to ask matters most:
- Asks a clarifying question: from 0% (Gemini) to 53.3% (ChatGPT) — a 53-point spread.
- Tells the buyer to check reviews: from 6.7% (Gemini) to 40% (ChatGPT) — a 33-point spread.
- Gives price or cost information: from 20% (Claude) to 46.7% (Gemini) — a 27-point spread.
- Tells the buyer to verify credentials: from 33.3% (Gemini) to 60% (ChatGPT) — a 27-point spread.
- Warns about red flags or scams: from 13.3% (Claude) to 40% (Gemini) — a 27-point spread.
The widest single gap — asks a clarifying question, 53 points — means a jewelry store buyer can receive materially different guidance on the same question depending only on which assistant they happen to open, so any visibility strategy built on a single model's behavior describes only part of the jewelry store market.
Where they agree
The points of near-consensus in Jewelry Store.
On other behaviors the three models move almost in lockstep — the points of near-consensus for jewelry store, where all three landed within a few points of each other:
- Mentions case studies or portfolio: 0% across all three models.
- Mentions local proximity: 26.7% across all three models.
- Gives selection criteria: 60%–66.7% across all three (a 7-point spread).
- Recommends multiple quotes: 0%–13.3% across all three (a 13-point spread).
Measured question by question, the three assistants coded a response the same way most consistently on "mentions case studies or portfolio" (identical coding in 100% of questions) and least consistently on "gives selection criteria" (20%).

Trust signals
How well the models protect the jewelry store buyer.
Beyond whether to hire, the rubric codes how carefully each assistant protects the jewelry store buyer once a decision is made. Telling the buyer to check reviews or ratings appeared in 28.9% of answers on average. Verifying credentials or certifications appeared in 44.4%. Warning about red flags or scams appeared in 26.7%.
On structuring the decision, a selection-criteria checklist showed up in 64.5% of answers on average and a recommendation to gather multiple quotes in 8.9%. The single least-reproduced protective signal for jewelry store is "recommends multiple quotes" at 8.9% on average — the clearest opening for content that supplies it, since the models are not yet reliably surfacing that guidance on their own.
Referral behavior
Do AI models name Jewelry Store providers?
For service providers the decisive question is whether these systems name anyone at all. Across 45 jewelry store answers, a specific provider was named in 24.4% of responses on average — roughly 1 distinct providers per answer. In practice the assistants behave far more as an explanatory layer than as a referral engine for jewelry store: visibility comes from being the reasoning a model reproduces, not from being the named recommendation.
The question set
What these 15 Jewelry Store questions cover.
The 15 questions behind every percentage on this page were drawn from real jewelry store (ecommerce / online retail; buyer hiring decisions for this specific service) buyer journeys. Each was put to all 3 models once, with identical wording, so the rates above describe how the assistants handled this exact jewelry store question set — not a general prior or a hand-picked subset. The full list is shown earlier on this page; the coded percentages are what those specific questions produced.
How to read this
A note on the numbers.
A percentage here is the share of a model's 15 answers in which the behavior appeared at least once — not a confidence score. Because each model answered every question exactly once on 2026-07-04, the figures describe this specific jewelry store question set and snapshot rather than a general prior. The full protocol and coding rubric are documented in the study methodology.
Methodology
A controlled snapshot, documented end to end.
15 standardized buyer questions per industry, one response per model per question (ChatGPT (gpt-5-mini), Claude (claude-sonnet-5), Gemini (gemini-3-flash-preview)), collected 2026-07-04, coded against a fixed 12-behavior rubric with human QA. AI outputs vary with model version, location and time — figures describe this sample and window, and are refreshed each edition. Read the full methodology →
