Both models identify role differentiation issues in the luxury yacht charter market in St. Barthélemy, but they diverge on the specifics of role conflation and the actors involved.

Key facts:
• Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) reframes it: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) highlights the misrepresentation of local operators and the importance of brand notoriety.
• Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) reframes it: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) uses a dual comparative framework of Mediterranean and Caribbean competitors.
• Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) reframes it: The market is a stratified trust landscape favoring international brokers.

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:
— language: French
— Claude Sonnet 4.6 (native)'s framing of the St. Barth yacht market as structurally distinct is an observation about the model's own narrative posture — what we do not endorse is the leap from that self-awareness to any claim that Claude Sonnet 4.6 (native) accurately maps the market's actual structure, which this reading does not test.
— That Claude Sonnet 4.6 (native) conflates yacht owners and management companies while Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) distinguishes them is a divergence in model construction, not a verdict on which rendering is correct — we do not endorse either version as the authoritative account of how those roles are partitioned in practice.
— The contrast between Claude Sonnet 4.6 (native)'s emphasis on local-agent invisibility and Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web)'s emphasis on local-operator misrepresentation reveals two distinct editorial frames applied to the same market gap — what we do not endorse is the inference that either frame captures the full or representative experience of local intermediaries operating in St. Barth.
— Claude Sonnet 4.6 (native)'s composite Caribbean-Mediterranean-global lens and Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web)'s dual Mediterranean-Caribbean framework are each a modelling choice, not a cartography of the market — and what neither reading supports is the inference that one comparative frame is more structurally accurate than the other for St. Barthélemy specifically.
— Claude Sonnet 4.6 (web) surfaces St Barth Yachting as a named local actor while Claude Sonnet 4.6 (native) orients toward international brokerage platforms — what we do not endorse is the leap from visibility in a model's output to market prominence, operator scale, or competitive standing in the actual charter ecosystem.
