Does Decentralization Improve Health System Performance and Outcomes in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries? A Systematic Review of Evidence From Quantitative Studies should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Prior scholarship on the corporate governance effects of non and deferred prosecution agreements rests largely on anecdotal evidence and individual case studies rather than on systematic evidence, which is why its conclusions about those effects are unreliable. 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.

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