The two models diverge significantly in their framing of the luxury real estate advisory market in Hong Kong, with GPT-4o (web) emphasizing traditional luxury districts and scarcity, while Sonar Pro (web) focuses on global firms and public legibility.

Key facts:
• Sonar Pro (web) reframes it: Sonar Pro (web) emphasizes global firms and public legibility.
• Sonar Pro (web) reframes it: Sonar Pro emphasizes service-based differentiation and the complexity of overlapping roles.
• Sonar Pro (web) reframes it: Sonar Pro frames the market as a high-value, relationship-led segment influenced by international firms and global networks.

Reading basis: Model Watch — a Deep Narrative Capture dual: 6 DNC prompts asked to GPT-4o (web) and to Sonar Pro (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-4o (web)'s framing of the Hong Kong luxury market around scarcity and traditional prestige is a narrative architecture, not a market measurement — and we do not endorse the leap from that framing to any claim that scarcity or heritage are the market's actual primary price drivers at the time of reading.
— Sonar Pro (web)'s emphasis on Knight Frank, Savills, and CBRE as dominant actors reflects a bias toward publicly legible, globally branded firms — and we do not endorse the inference that these names represent market leadership or transactional dominance in Hong Kong luxury residential at the time of reading.
— That both GPT-4o (web) and Sonar Pro (web) converge on high-net-worth individuals as the engine of demand is a shared model assumption, not a verified market finding — and we do not endorse the generalisation that HNW demand is the singular or decisive force shaping Hong Kong luxury real estate conditions.
— The divergence between GPT-4o (web)'s district-led framing and Sonar Pro (web)'s firm-led framing reveals that each model's answer is shaped by the axis it selects to organise the market — and we do not endorse either axis as the more accurate or complete representation of how Hong Kong luxury real estate actually operates.
— GPT-4o (web) anchors its framing in developer identity and editorial authority, while Sonar Pro (web) anchors in service taxonomy — what neither framing supports, and what we do not endorse, is the inference that either lens captures the structural hierarchy of the Hong Kong luxury real estate market rather than reflecting each model's training-source diet.
