Dwarf galaxies are considered to be potential ideal test-beds for constraining models of the seeding and tracing of the growth of supermassive and intermediate mass black holes (MBH) via their black hole occupation fraction (BHOF). Disentangling seeding from the confounding effects of mass assembly is, however, challenging. In this work, we use semi-analytical models (SAMs) to probe how various surveys perform at teasing apart different seed and growth scenarios. We close with recommendations for the design of upcoming multi-wavelength campaigns that can optimally detect MBHs in dwarf galaxies.
