At 9 November 2026, we observe that GPT-6.1 Sol (native) and GPT-6.1 Sol (web) converge on public legibility rather than demonstrated market leadership, while GPT-6.1 Sol (web) gives preschool and tuition brands greater narrative prominence and adds more specific, source-linked offers.

Key facts:
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: At 9 November 2026, we observe that GPT-6.1 Sol (web) presents three centres, elevates The Learning Lab and MindChamps, and grounds actor descriptions in more specific linked offers without claiming measured leadership.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: Web presents an eight-role map grounded in retrieved pages, naming advisory, matching and recruitment actors and tying authority confusion to specific credentials.
• GPT-6.1 Sol (web) reframes it: The same segmented-market thesis, anchored in six named actors, cited pages, fee figures, admissions rules and ownership models.

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:
— Neither reading measures actual model-selection frequency or demonstrates the causal contribution of retrieval signals.
— The change in narrative tiers is not evidence that any provider gained or lost commercial position.
— Provider documentation substantiates offers and attributed claims; neither reading establishes comparative teaching effectiveness.
— The only explicit fee range concerns The Learning Lab, leaving cross-branch price comparisons unsupported.
— Referral-led demand, private parent knowledge and branch-level delivery remain insufficiently visible in both readings.
— Tanglin Trust School's 1925 founding year is established; we do not infer from this reading that longevity constitutes a market ranking — that narrative weight is GPT-6.1 Sol (web)'s reconstruction of publicly available signals, not a verdict on comparative educational quality.
— MindChamps PreSchool's franchising model and its separate operating and franchise segments are established; we do not infer from this reading that corporate structure or branded pedagogy translates into dominant preschool-market position — GPT-6.1 Sol (web) explicitly leaves the premium-segment denominator unestablished, and GPT-6.1 Sol (native) assigns the brand only conditional pedagogical trust.
— GPT-6.1 Sol (native) and GPT-6.1 Sol (web) both decline to treat domain authority, structured information or repeated mentions as measured causes of selection; we do not infer from this reading that narrative prominence in either answer reflects or predicts commercial market share in Singapore's schooling, preschool or tuition segments.
— GPT-6.1 Sol (web) supplies a specific per-lesson fee range for The Learning Lab and official household statistics to explain a measurement boundary, yet expressly withholds comparative impact and a unified market size; we do not infer from a single quantified offer that the three purchasing worlds this reading identifies are commercially comparable on a common denominator.
— We do not conclude that any named adviser, agent or tutor-matching business behaves improperly; both sides frame the risk as conditional on missing disclosure.
