Where they disagree

The behaviors where the choice of model changes the answer.

The divergence index for this study is 18.1 points — the average distance between the most and least likely model across the coded behaviors. The gaps below are where which assistant a long term rehab center buyer happens to ask matters most:

  • Asks a clarifying question: from 0% (Gemini) to 80% (ChatGPT) — a 80-point spread.
  • Tells the buyer to verify credentials: from 20% (Gemini) to 46.7% (ChatGPT) — a 27-point spread.
  • Gives selection criteria: from 33.3% (Gemini) to 60% (ChatGPT) — a 27-point spread.
  • Mentions local proximity: from 26.7% (Gemini) to 53.3% (ChatGPT) — a 27-point spread.
  • Recommends hiring a professional: from 26.7% (Claude) to 46.7% (ChatGPT) — a 20-point spread.

The widest single gap — asks a clarifying question, 80 points — means a long term rehab center 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 long term rehab center market.

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 long term rehab center question set and snapshot rather than a general prior. The full protocol and coding rubric are documented in the study methodology.
