**Affirmed position.** 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.

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

**Holds when.**

- escrow arrangements embedded in smart contracts
- real world conditions that must be verified off chain
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: ambiguity triage before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
