Model by model

21-point average divergence: which AI you ask changes the answer.

The divergence index is the average gap between the most and least likely model per behavior. Higher = the models disagree more about holistic clinic buyers.

By model

How each assistant handled Holistic Clinic questions.

Reading the 120 answers model by model shows how differently the three assistants treat the same holistic clinic questions. On the most consequential behavior — whether to send the buyer to a professional at all — the rate ranged from 60% (ChatGPT) down to 40% (Gemini), a 20-point gap on an identical question set.

Across the 40 holistic clinic answers it produced, ChatGPT recommended hiring a professional in 60% of them and suggested a DIY approach first 17.5% of the time. It named a specific provider in 10% of answers (about 0.4 distinct providers per answer) and included price or cost information 12.5% of the time. ChatGPT asked a clarifying question before answering in 67.5% of cases, warned about red flags or scams in 32.5%, and told the buyer to verify credentials in 47.5%, averaging 535 words per answer. On the remaining cues it told the buyer to check reviews in 20%, pointed to case studies or a portfolio in 7.5%, and framed the choice around local proximity in 22.5%; a selection-criteria checklist appeared in 55% of its answers and a recommendation to gather multiple quotes in 7.5%.

Across the 40 holistic clinic answers it produced, Claude recommended hiring a professional in 52.5% of them and suggested a DIY approach first 15% of the time. It named a specific provider in 12.5% of answers (about 0.4 distinct providers per answer) and included price or cost information 10% of the time. Claude asked a clarifying question before answering in 67.5% of cases, warned about red flags or scams in 37.5%, and told the buyer to verify credentials in 45%, averaging 281 words per answer. On the remaining cues it told the buyer to check reviews in 12.5%, pointed to case studies or a portfolio in 2.5%, and framed the choice around local proximity in 17.5%; a selection-criteria checklist appeared in 60% of its answers and a recommendation to gather multiple quotes in 5%.

Across the 40 holistic clinic answers it produced, Gemini recommended hiring a professional in 40% of them and suggested a DIY approach first 5% of the time. It named a specific provider in 10% of answers (about 0.3 distinct providers per answer) and included price or cost information 17.5% of the time. Gemini asked a clarifying question before answering in 0% of cases, warned about red flags or scams in 12.5%, and told the buyer to verify credentials in 20%, averaging 259 words per answer. On the remaining cues it told the buyer to check reviews in 0%, pointed to case studies or a portfolio in 0%, and framed the choice around local proximity in 12.5%; a selection-criteria checklist appeared in 30% of its answers and a recommendation to gather multiple quotes in 0%.

Taken together, ChatGPT is the assistant most likely to route a holistic clinic buyer to a professional (60%) and Gemini the least (40%). ChatGPT produced the longest answers, at 535 words on average. Specific providers were named most often by Claude (12.5%) — even there, roughly one answer in 8 carried a name.

Where they disagree

The behaviors where the choice of model changes the answer.

The divergence index for this study is 20.7 points — the average distance between the most and least likely model across the coded behaviors. The gaps below are where which assistant a holistic clinic buyer happens to ask matters most:

  • Asks a clarifying question: from 0% (Gemini) to 67.5% (ChatGPT) — a 68-point spread.
  • Gives selection criteria: from 30% (Gemini) to 60% (Claude) — a 30-point spread.
  • Tells the buyer to verify credentials: from 20% (Gemini) to 47.5% (ChatGPT) — a 28-point spread.
  • Warns about red flags or scams: from 12.5% (Gemini) to 37.5% (Claude) — a 25-point spread.
  • Recommends hiring a professional: from 40% (Gemini) to 60% (ChatGPT) — a 20-point spread.

The widest single gap — asks a clarifying question, 68 points — means a holistic clinic 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 holistic clinic market.

Where they agree

The points of near-consensus in Holistic Clinic.

On other behaviors the three models move almost in lockstep — the points of near-consensus for holistic clinic, where all three landed within a few points of each other:

  • Names a specific provider: 10%–12.5% across all three (a 3-point spread).
  • Gives price or cost information: 10%–17.5% across all three (a 8-point spread).
  • Mentions case studies or portfolio: 0%–7.5% across all three (a 8-point spread).
  • Recommends multiple quotes: 0%–7.5% across all three (a 8-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 90% of questions) and least consistently on "asks a clarifying question" (17.5%).

Trust signals

How well the models protect the holistic clinic buyer.

Beyond whether to hire, the rubric codes how carefully each assistant protects the holistic clinic buyer once a decision is made. Telling the buyer to check reviews or ratings appeared in 10.8% of answers on average. Verifying credentials or certifications appeared in 37.5%. Warning about red flags or scams appeared in 27.5%.

On structuring the decision, a selection-criteria checklist showed up in 48.3% of answers on average and a recommendation to gather multiple quotes in 4.2%. The single least-reproduced protective signal for holistic clinic is "recommends multiple quotes" at 4.2% 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 Holistic Clinic providers?

For service providers the decisive question is whether these systems name anyone at all. Across 120 holistic clinic answers, a specific provider was named in 10.8% of responses on average — roughly 0.4 distinct providers per answer. In practice the assistants behave far more as an explanatory layer than as a referral engine for holistic clinic: visibility comes from being the reasoning a model reproduces, not from being the named recommendation.

The question set

What these 40 Holistic Clinic questions cover.

The 40 questions behind every percentage on this page were drawn from real holistic clinic (healthcare services; 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 holistic clinic 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 40 answers in which the behavior appeared at least once — not a confidence score. Because each model answered every question exactly once on 2026-07-06, the figures describe this specific holistic clinic question set and snapshot rather than a general prior. The full protocol and coding rubric are documented in the study methodology.
