**Affirmed position.** Decentralization, Governance and Public Services the Impact of Institutional Arrangements a Review of the Literature should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Centralized market power blocks other industry players from establishing internal or external controls on code review quality, so the public has no or very weak control over the quality of the review services it receives. 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.**

- Apply only within the source-bound Kaal claim's stated scope.
