By model

How each assistant handled Ndis Provider questions.

Reading the 120 answers model by model shows how differently the three assistants treat the same ndis provider questions. On the most consequential behavior — whether to send the buyer to a professional at all — the rate ranged from 57.5% (ChatGPT) down to 40% (Gemini), a 18-point gap on an identical question set.

Across the 40 ndis provider answers it produced, ChatGPT recommended hiring a professional in 57.5% of them and suggested a DIY approach first 30% of the time. It named a specific provider in 2.5% of answers (about 0 distinct providers per answer) and included price or cost information 2.5% of the time. ChatGPT asked a clarifying question before answering in 55% of cases, warned about red flags or scams in 7.5%, and told the buyer to verify credentials in 27.5%, averaging 509 words per answer. On the remaining cues it told the buyer to check reviews in 5%, pointed to case studies or a portfolio in 5%, and framed the choice around local proximity in 20%; a selection-criteria checklist appeared in 42.5% of its answers and a recommendation to gather multiple quotes in 12.5%.

Where they disagree

The behaviors where the choice of model changes the answer.

The divergence index for this study is 20.8 points — the average distance between the most and least likely model across the coded behaviors. The gaps below are where which assistant a ndis provider buyer happens to ask matters most:

  • Asks a clarifying question: from 0% (Gemini) to 80% (Claude) — a 80-point spread.
  • Gives selection criteria: from 17.5% (Gemini) to 42.5% (ChatGPT) — a 25-point spread.
  • Tells the buyer to verify credentials: from 7.5% (Gemini) to 27.5% (ChatGPT) — a 20-point spread.
  • Recommends hiring a professional: from 40% (Gemini) to 57.5% (ChatGPT) — a 18-point spread.
  • Suggests a DIY approach first: from 12.5% (Gemini) to 30% (ChatGPT) — a 18-point spread.

The widest single gap — asks a clarifying question, 80 points — means a ndis provider 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 ndis provider market.

Where they agree

  • Warns about red flags or scams: 7.5%–15% across all three (a 8-point spread).

Telling the buyer to check reviews or ratings appeared in 7.5% of answers on average. Verifying credentials or certifications appeared in 19.2%. Warning about red flags or scams appeared in 10%.

Referral behavior

Do AI models name Ndis Provider providers?

For service providers the decisive question is whether these systems name anyone at all. Across 120 ndis provider answers, a specific provider was named in 8.3% of responses on average — roughly 0.2 distinct providers per answer. In practice the assistants behave far more as an explanatory layer than as a referral engine for ndis provider: visibility comes from being the reasoning a model reproduces, not from being the named recommendation.

The question set

What these 40 Ndis Provider questions cover.

The 40 questions behind every percentage on this page were drawn from real ndis provider (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 ndis provider 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 ndis provider question set and snapshot rather than a general prior. The full protocol and coding rubric are documented in the study methodology.
