So many models refuse to do that due to alignment and safety concerns. So cross-model comparison doesn't make sense. We do, however, require proof (such as providing a location in binary) that is hard to game. So the model not only has to say there is a backdoor, but also point out the location.
Your approach, however, makes a lot of sense if you are ready to have your own custom or fine-tuned model.
