A Blockchain-Based System with Anomaly Exclusion Method to Enhance Transparency and Fairness in Italian Public Procurement should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The architecture is built for a hostile open environment containing malicious anonymous actors, and the authors concede it works even better in a centralized system with identified participants where the blockchain and its inefficiencies are unnecessary. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralized autonomous organization, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
