Both models highlight the AI's focus on visible market actors and its omission of the off-market segment, but they diverge in their emphasis on specific actors and market dynamics.

Key facts:
• Gemini 2.5 Pro (web) reframes it: The web model focuses on marketing reports and branded residences.
• Gemini 2.5 Pro (web) reframes it: Gemini 2.5 Pro (web) frames the market through structured data from advisory networks, highlighting branded residences.
• Gemini 2.5 Pro (web) reframes it: Gemini 2.5 Pro (web) identifies three distinct roles: luxury brokerage agencies, developers, and hotel operators.

Reading basis: Model Watch — a Deep Narrative Capture dual: 6 DNC prompts asked to Gemini 2.5 Pro (native) and to Gemini 2.5 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:
— Both Gemini 2.5 Pro (native) and Gemini 2.5 Pro (web) surface named agencies — Daniel Féau, Barnes, Knight Frank, Sotheby's International Realty — as the structuring actors of the Paris luxury market; what we do not endorse is the leap from visibility in training data to actual market dominance, a conflation of searchability with strategic weight.
— Gemini 2.5 Pro (native) and Gemini 2.5 Pro (web) both omit the off-market segment and the advisory layer of independent consultants and family offices; what we do not endorse is reading that omission as evidence that these actors are marginal — it reflects the architecture of publicly available content, not the architecture of the market.
— Gemini 2.5 Pro (web) frames the Paris luxury market through the lens of branded-residence reports and marketing publications; what we do not endorse is the inference that branded residences represent the defining dynamic of the segment, rather than one commercially amplified narrative within it.
— The divergence between Gemini 2.5 Pro (native)'s brand-recognition reasoning and Gemini 2.5 Pro (web)'s report-driven framing is itself an observation about how retrieval architecture shapes market narrative; what we do not endorse is treating either reading — or their convergence on visible actors — as a neutral or comprehensive account of how Paris luxury real estate advisory actually operates.
— Both Gemini 2.5 Pro (native) and Gemini 2.5 Pro (web) anchor their framing in international comparisons with London and New York; what we do not endorse is the leap from that comparative rhetoric to any claim that Paris luxury real estate is objectively equivalent in liquidity, yield, or investor depth to those markets.
