Model Watch cards set two or more AI models side by side on the same market — where ChatGPT, Gemini, and others agree on who matters, and where they diverge. The divergence between models is itself the reading.

How to read these cards

The public reference definitions behind this desk — what each card means, and what it does not claim. Read every card with its market, surface, window and limitation.

Method & Standards — how each reading is scoped, attested, and bounded.
Public Reading Boundaries — what an Observatory reading never claims.
Attestation Standard — scope, basis, window, source, and limitation travel with every card.
Surface Divergence — what one model names and another names can diverge.
Public Reading Boundaries — a model can describe possible factors but not the current cross-surface behaviour on its own.
