Analytical assessment

No reviewed analytical conclusion is attached. This does not establish independence or absence of an institutional constraint.

Coded attributes

technical-control: shared-constrained

Practical ability to alter the model, its availability, or safeguards in the specified deployment. Contract clauses alone are insufficient.

Actor × exact model/deployment × period. Anthropic provision and replacement of Claude models for DoW, contrasted with deployed operational control; 2025–August 2026; assessed 2026-08-27.

Anthropic provides model artifacts and responds to feedback; DoW and cloud providers independently gate operational deployment. Existing deployed models are outside Anthropic technical alteration or shutdown. Consequential functions are divided across institutions, satisfying shared/constrained control without attributing a real-time veto.

Supporting evidence: court-model-provision court-update-gate . Counterevidence: contractual-control court-static-deployment

Coding applies only to stated context and date, not a permanent institutional rank.

Published rubric anchors

little-control: No demonstrated practical control over the specified consequential operation, with affirmative contrary evidence.
shared-constrained: Consequential controls divided among actor, host, customer or enforceable technical constraints.
substantial: Actor demonstrably retains major development, update or access controls in this environment.
dominant-lifecycle: Actor demonstrably controls development, deployment, updates and access across the specified lifecycle without a consequential independent controller.

Unresolved when necessary evidence is missing or adjacent anchors cannot be distinguished. No numeric conversion. Absence requires affirmative remit or operational evidence, not missing sources.
