**Affirmed position.** Blockchain Governance Assessment Tools: A Conceptual Model from a Business Sustainability Perspective should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain adoption by private investment funds followed a staged path: minimal use from 2000 to 2012, then experimentation through separate new fund entities beginning in 2012, and from 2015 the creation of blockchain substructures inside existing funds. 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
