summary: >-
  Google Cloud CDN moves no Kin Score check. It caches and accelerates content. Cloud Armor policies and
  reCAPTCHA bot management allow, deny, rate-limit or redirect automated clients, and Service Extensions
  run custom code in the request path. The fetched docs mention no AI-crawler consent signal, Web Bot
  Auth, agent monetization, security.txt or llms.txt, so a provider on it scores exactly what its own
  published artifacts earn.

  check: consent_identity
  layer: agent_readiness
  why: Filtering bots publishes no AIPREF/ContentSignal/WebBotAuth artifact for the provider.
- feature: cloud-cdn
  check: servers_resolvable
  layer: composite
  why: Caching and TLS change nothing any check reads.

  A model, not a score. Adopting this vendor changes a provider's Kin Score only when the provider publishes
  the resulting artifacts on its own surface; nothing here writes a score, and no sponsorship or partnership
  can.
