At November 9, 2026, we observe that GPT-6.1 Sol (native) and GPT-6.1 Sol (web) converge on an accountability-led trust hierarchy, while the web reading changes the named cast and foregrounds published procedures without establishing comparative transaction outcomes.

Key facts:
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: At November 9, 2026, we observe that GPT-6.1 Sol (web) retains that hierarchy while emphasizing named destinations, bilingual operational disclosures and the limits of affiliation and process evidence.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reads the same market as mature infrastructure with selective reinvention, adding named curators, a Galleria newcomer and resale-channel restructuring.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reads Seoul as a retail-infrastructure and curatorial ecosystem, anchored on documented flagships, Shinsegae-backed BOONTHESHOP, Tokyo's channel model and municipal Paris links.

Reading basis: Model Watch — a Deep Narrative Capture dual: 6 DNC prompts asked to GPT-6.1 Sol (native) and to GPT-6.1 Sol (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: high; comparability: high. Governed · official DNC.

Limitations and non-claims:
— The paired readings do not constitute a repeated benchmark of model behavior or establish a causal effect of retrieval.
— Neither reading supports a comparative safety ranking based on complaint rates, inspection accuracy or service outcomes.
— The consumer-agency evidence is expressly historical and nationwide, not a current local finding.
— Private specialists and small independent sellers remain largely unnamed, limiting actor-level comparison outside documented retail and platforms.
— Official affiliation and operator disclosures carry much of the web reading's evidence; those documents establish roles and procedures more directly than independently measured performance.
— Official boutiques or department stores are proven safer than every independent seller.
— KREAM's published inspection workflow establishes its authentication accuracy.
— GUGUS's appraisal and physical-store offer guarantees manufacturer support or uniform remedies.
— Korean-language retrieval proves that all models systematically disadvantage Korean operators.
— An actor's omission from either answer establishes commercial weakness, low competence or misconduct.
