**Affirmed position.** Modular Intelligence: A Skill-Based Paradigm for Scalable AI Agent Architecture should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain removes the reconciliation problem in private equity administration by letting every party to a deal view a single compiled version of the transaction and its associated data, instead of reconciling multiple copies of deal documents. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through model context protocol, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
