Both models agree on the structural blind spots in AI's understanding of the luxury real estate advisory market in London, but they diverge on specific market dynamics and actor roles.

Key facts:
• Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) reframes it: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) focuses on brand-recognizable agencies and recent tax changes.
• Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) reframes it: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) highlights the risk associated with the 'luxury real estate advisory' label itself.
• Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) reframes it: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) highlights proprietary data publishing and introduces new actors.

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: high; comparability: high. Governed · official DNC.

Limitations and non-claims:
— Claude Sonnet 4.6 (native) frames the London luxury market as fundamentally relational and trust-brokered — what we do not endorse is the leap from that framing to a diagnosis of the market's actual operating logic, which this reading observed in a model's construction, not in practitioner testimony or transaction data.
— Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) names Knight Frank and Savills while Claude Sonnet 4.6 (native) does not; what both readings add — and what we do not endorse — is any inference about market dominance or competitive standing, since naming reflects the topology of web-indexed editorial coverage, not a ranking of advisory market share.
— Both readings converge on the structural invisibility of off-market transactions in their respective outputs; what we do not endorse is the inference that this convergence reflects a property of the market itself — it reflects, instead, a shared constraint of AI models trained on public-facing sources, where discretionary, undisclosed deal-flow leaves no indexable trace.
— Claude Sonnet 4.6 (native)'s framing of the market as over-weighting transactional actors is a diagnosis of its own training signal — and what we do not endorse is the leap from that self-referential observation to a claim about how the London prime residential market is actually structured.
— Claude Sonnet 4.6 (native) names Buying Solutions, Black Brick, and Prime Purchase while Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) names Knight Frank, Beauchamp Estates, and Savills' Private Office — and what we do not endorse is reading either list as a market ranking, a quality judgement, or a complete account of pivotal actors in London luxury real estate.
