Both readings converge on an internationally legible, English‑language and aggregator‑weighted hierarchy, but they diverge on focal actors and signal weighting — the native reading centers Vera Clinic and aggregator signals, while the web reading elevates HealthEstetik and adds patient‑journey and review‑score logics.

Key facts:
• Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) reframes it: Claude Sonnet 4.6 template-and-reviews-weighted hierarchy elevating HealthEstetik, surgeon-brand visibility, and hospital partnerships alongside quantified social proof.
• Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) reframes it: Specific clinics and surgeon-led models emerge, with Harley Street-style signals and risk counter-measures defining the luxury ladder.
• Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) reframes it: The same trust spine holds, but the cast becomes concrete and adds UK registration, dual-jurisdiction care, and transparent package structures as explicit amplifiers.

Reading basis: Model Watch — a Deep Narrative Capture dual: 6 DNC prompts asked to Claude Sonnet 4.6 (native) and to Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web), each pair reconciled by a delta synthesis and left uncorrected. Every framing is the AI's own — the models speaking, not an Observatory measurement. Confidence: moderate; comparability: high. Governed · official DNC.

Limitations and non-claims:
— Side Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) presents zero explicit external citations; quantified claims are self-reported within the text.
— Claude Sonnet 4.6 Turkish-language phrase is quoted verbatim ('içte sağlık, dışta güzellik'); translation is provided in our angle for clarity.
— Side Claude Sonnet 4.6’s source text is truncated mid-sentence near the 'Price-quality narrative framing' section.
— Both sides are the same model on the same date; stylistic and conceptual overlap may be elevated.
— English-language bias is acknowledged by both sides; domestic actors may be underrepresented.
— Stating that Vera Clinic is the market leader in Istanbul luxury aesthetics.
— Asserting that HealthEstetik holds the largest market share.
— Claiming that TRT World Health is definitively an aggregator platform.
— Declaring that hospital partnership depth equates to clinical quality.
— Inferring verified patient outcomes from review scores or journey templates.
