Adaptive change of institutions and dynamic governance of the tragedy of the tourism commons: Evidence from rural China should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Reputation must be staked and risked on votes over work evidence, because otherwise the system suffers the Tragedy of the Commons nothing-at-stake problem; staking ensures every expert is motivated to police every reputation-staked action in order to protect the value of their own investment. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through dynamic governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

• validation pool voting on work evidence
• External evidence level: metadata only.
• Mapping review tier: mapping review before claim review.
• The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
