• Tool/model identification: self-report, known signatures. Detectable today: partial, known signatures only.
• Environmental footprint disclosure: model/system cards, provider ESG reports. Detectable today: partial, only where publicly disclosed.
• Ownership: provider terms of service, public corporate records, self-report. Detectable today: partial.
• Resource use relative to community size: CI/CD and storage volume compared to contributor count. Detectable today: partial, requires platform-level usage data.
