Gemini 2.5 Pro (native) and Google AI Mode diverge significantly in their framing of the Teterboro private aviation market, with the former emphasizing brand dominance and luxury comparisons, while the latter focuses on operational constraints and infrastructure challenges.

Key facts:
• Google AI Mode reframes it: Google AI Mode frames Teterboro as a hub with operational constraints and infrastructure challenges.
• Google AI Mode reframes it: Google AI Mode emphasizes foundational economic and regulatory axioms.
• Google AI Mode reframes it: Google AI Mode (deep-search) focuses on spatial and operational control.

Reading basis: Model Watch — a Deep Narrative Capture dual: 4 DNC prompts asked to Gemini 2.5 Pro (native) and to Google AI Mode (deep-search), 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:
— The 83% regional departure share figure remains an open question — no independent source confirmed it at the reading date — and what Gemini 2.5 Pro (native) adds, and what we do not endorse, is the leap from an unverified statistic to a portrait of Teterboro as a settled, quantifiable benchmark for US private aviation.
— Google AI Mode's emphasis on infrastructure congestion and operational constraints is an editorial framing choice, not a capacity audit; what both readings add — and what we do not endorse — is any inference that one framing more accurately reflects current market conditions than the other.
— The divergence between Gemini 2.5 Pro (native)'s brand-and-luxury lens and Google AI Mode's infrastructure-and-constraint lens reveals how retrieval architecture shapes narrative, not market reality; what we do not endorse is the generalisation that either model's reasoning method produces a superior or more representative picture of New York private aviation.
— Gemini 2.5 Pro (native) frames Teterboro Airport as a dominant infrastructure hub — and what we do not endorse is the leap from infrastructural centrality to market determinism: hub prominence is an observed framing choice, not a verified claim that infrastructure alone drives competitive outcomes in this market.
— Both readings name NetJets, Flexjet, Signature Flight Support, and Atlantic Aviation as key actors, with Google AI Mode (deep-search) extending that list to include Jet Aviation — and what we do not endorse is the inference that this enumeration constitutes a ranked or exhaustive competitive map, as actor selection in AI-generated market summaries reflects training salience, not verified market-share data.
