GPT-6.1 Sol (native) and GPT-6.1 Sol (web) build the same three-pillar hierarchy of Raffles, Marina Bay Sands and Capella, but the web reading anchors it in Michelin Keys, Qantas editorial and operator or owner documents, while the native reading anchors it in recognisability and admits it has no live evidence.

Key facts:
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: GPT-6.1 Sol (web) keeps the same three archetypes but grounds them in Michelin Keys, Qantas editorial and operator and owner documents, and widens the cast.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: GPT-6.1 Sol (web) keeps the same property triad but separates legitimacy, experience and transaction security using dated sources and named evidence.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: GPT-6.1 Sol (web) argues the same substitution of visibility for importance, but anchors it in property factsheets, STB frameworks, a developer link and an intermediary programme.

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:
— GPT-6.1 Sol (web) rests most hierarchy claims on one Michelin article and one Qantas article; its secondary-tier ordering is correspondingly narrow.
— Both readings say their hierarchy is interpretive and not a measured ranking, so the comparison documents narrative construction, not market position.
— The two readings differ in how they name the flagship Raffles property (Raffles Singapore versus Raffles Hotel Singapore); we treat them as the same property.
— Neither reading covers Chinese-language, resident or private-adviser discovery; GPT-6.1 Sol (web) says so explicitly.
— Both readings disclaim any measured ranking, so the actor hierarchy is a reconstruction on each side, not an observed frequency.
— We do not state which hotel actually leads the Singapore luxury market, since neither reading evidences revenue, occupancy or share.
— We do not state that Michelin Keys or Qantas editorial caused any AI ranking, since GPT-6.1 Sol (web) itself says causal levers are untested.
— We do not assert any ownership or award fact as established; those are listed for verification only.
— We do not infer why the web mode named additional actors beyond what its text states.
— We do not state which reading is more accurate about the Singapore luxury hotel market.
