Digital Transformation and the Evolution of the Platform Economy should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Coders and developers do not always understand the industry or business environment they target with their software solutions, nor do they always consider the trust or ethical issues raised by the technology based business solutions they implement. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through algorithmic regulation, 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.
