Blockchain-enabled digital platforms for responsible business: building trust and traceability in global supply chains should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Escrow based enforcement is effective for automation only if it is supported by reliable oracles and robust governance, without which the mechanism is open to manipulation. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through blockchain governance, 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.
