At 2 November 2026, we observe that Grok 4.7 (web) and GPT-6.1 Sol (web) converge on the authority advantage of research publishers and the ambiguity of client representation, while diverging over the specialist cast, the durability of the Dubai comparison and the evidence used to distinguish advisory from brokerage.

Key facts:
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: At 2 November 2026, we observe that GPT-6.1 Sol (web) presents overlapping advisory models that become more distinguishable through service evidence, ownership disclosure and carefully bounded comparisons.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: At 2 November 2026, we observe that GPT-6.1 Sol (web) presents institutions and legible buying specialists as complementary narrative centres, foregrounding service definition, ownership distinctions and explicit evidence limits.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reads the market as eight recoverable roles in which AI risks confusing allegiance with service breadth, with 'independent' the riskiest label.

Reading basis: Model Watch — a Deep Narrative Capture dual: 6 DNC prompts asked to Grok 4.7 (web) 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: moderate; comparability: high. Governed · official DNC.

Limitations and non-claims:
— Both supplied capture labels identify web mode; historical field names do not establish a native-versus-search experiment.
— The raw responses concern the same London market on 2 November 2026, but support interpretive comparison rather than measured model-wide behaviour.
— Grok 4.7 (web) names sources without visible links; GPT-6.1 Sol (web) supplies inline links, often to provider materials.
— Ancillary assessment material was excluded; the synthesis uses the raw model responses.
— Crown Mayfair-type and Kofman-type are retained in a passage as written but are not normalised into standalone actor-list entries.
— That either model establishes the best London luxury adviser.
— That research visibility demonstrates transaction market share or superior client outcomes.
— That the Dubai passages constitute a like-for-like factual contradiction across identical measures and periods.
— That operational separation establishes ownership independence or equivalent regulatory safeguards.
— That these two web-mode answers demonstrate a causal effect of search, schema or any other visibility intervention.
