**Affirmed position.** 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.

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

**Holds when.**

- blockchain hosting is justified only by anonymity and hostility of the environment
- 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.
