Frequently asked · DNC Lens

What is a Deep Narrative Capture (DNC)?

A captured market account from a named AI system or answer product, with its mode or surface identified. Captured words remain verbatim; the public reading may select, contextualize and interpret them without silently changing the account. Model Watch compares specified readings.

Is the DNC a performance claim?

No. It is a reading of perception, not of real-world performance, bookings or market share; being named is not an endorsement and absence is not a judgement.

Why do two readings of the same market differ?

Different systems, products, modes or capture conditions can produce different representations. Model Watch makes both convergence and divergence visible without assigning an unsupported cause.
