**Affirmed position.** Decentralizing Governance within the European Union’s Framework: Evidence from Greece should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Although rare in absolute terms, structural responses grew: at least part of the industry is increasingly changing the legal structure of its funds and closing funds to new investors in response to the post-2012 regulatory changes. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralization governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- least common actions reported in the 2012 and 2015 surveys
- rates doubled or tripled between the two surveys from a low base
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- 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.
