At 9 November 2026, GPT-6.1 Sol (native) and GPT-6.1 Sol (web) converge on a prestige-led boarding core whose visibility is not market control, and diverge on how far they widen the cast: the web reading adds Beau Soleil, SIS, EHL and an agency, while the native reading keeps TASIS and an explicitly hedged, memory-based frame.

Key facts:
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: GPT-6.1 Sol (web) keeps the prestige-led boarding core but adds Beau Soleil, SIS, EHL and an agency, grounding the hierarchy in cited programme evidence and naming circular prestige as its principal risk.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: GPT-6.1 Sol (web) maps trust by what is published and verifiable, adding Beau Soleil, Swiss authorities and registers, and comparison platforms, and refusing to issue a low-trust list.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: Web reaches the same boarding-led picture but anchors it in cited sources and adds the Swiss public system, a regulatory distinction and co-marketing evidence.

Reading basis: Model Watch — a Deep Narrative Capture dual: 6 DNC prompts asked to GPT-6.1 Sol (native) 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: high; comparability: high. Governed · official DNC.

Limitations and non-claims:
— Both readings come from the same model on the same date, so differences reflect the web layer and run variation, not different models.
— GPT-6.1 Sol (web) cites sources inline, but several are institutional or marketing pages; the model itself says actor-specific follow-up does not prove spontaneous prominence.
— Neither reading offers enrolment, revenue or placement data, so the hierarchy can only be read as narrative visibility.
— The native reading names TASIS as a secondary actor while the web reading omits it.
— GPT-6.1 Sol (web) draws its cantonal evidence from Zurich only; the other cantons are not covered by either reading.
— No ruling on which school is actually the market leader or best educationally.
— No assertion about the real commercial role or independence of any named agency.
— No inference that the web layer is more accurate than the native reading.
— No claim about why TASIS is absent from the web reading.
— No ranking of schools by safety or quality, since neither reading provides one.
