**Affirmed position.** Designing platform ecosystems for collaboration, innovation and growth should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Commonly held expressions of organizational values are essential to designing and implementing any governance structure and are far more important in decentralized organizations, which inherently have less motivational structure than centralized hierarchies. 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.
