GPT-6.1 Sol (native) and GPT-6.1 Sol (web) agree on the core reading: London and Singapore are the natural reference points, and prestige is not proof of adviser quality. They diverge on texture. Native names JLL and Midland and works structurally. Web adds List Sotheby's, Habitat, CBRE and Henley, plus dated figures and extra reference markets (Monaco, mainland Chinese wealth).

Key facts:
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: GPT-6.1 Sol (web) keeps the London and Singapore anchors but adds named firms, dated figures, Monaco and mainland-wealth frames, and a dual-agency caution.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: GPT-6.1 Sol (web) holds the same mandate-first caution but anchors it in Hong Kong agency forms, named luxury and boutique agencies and consumer-protection material.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: GPT-6.1 Sol (web) presents a mature, overlapping advisory ecosystem, shows it through named firms, regulator guidance and the CBRE launch, and still separates narrative authority from commercial dominance.

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:
— Neither reading offers evidence on Chinese-language sources, and both admit that gap.
— Web's figures (3.5% fall, Q2 2026 release, December 2024 table) cite single provider documents with no second source.
— Both readings state confidence grades without showing how they were derived.
— Both readings come from the same model, so the contrasts here reflect the presence or absence of retrieval, not differences between models.
— Neither reading tests how AI actually classifies providers; both reason from service descriptions and, in the web case, regulatory material.
— JLL's residential advisory presence in Hong Kong, including a named Head of International Residential role, is established; we do not infer from GPT-6.1 Sol (native)'s framing that commercial-property credibility travels automatically into luxury residential mandates — that boundary question is the reading's structural worry, not a settled market verdict.
— Hong Kong's abolition of all demand-side management measures from 28 February 2024 is established; we do not infer from either reading that removing those measures has restored or redirected luxury transaction volumes — neither reading supplies current mandate or absorption data to support that leap.
— GPT-6.1 Sol (web) grounds its market picture in specific figures and claims — a 3.5% Savills prime-capital-values fall and a CBRE Q2 2026 mainland-participation claim, alongside a HK$164.5 million Borrett Road transaction cited in its separate blind-spot reading — none of which we could confirm from live sources; we do not carry those figures forward as evidence of market direction, and we note that period and source selection remain open questions the reading itself flags.
— Both readings close on the same structural gap — referral-only advisers who leave little publishable evidence and Chinese-language networks that an English-language vantage understates; we do not infer that the named firms represent the full competitive set, and we do not treat either reading's cast of actors as a market ranking.
— No conclusion on which firm is the better Hong Kong luxury adviser.
