Agentic Commerce Applications: How Autonomous AI Is Redefining the Retail & E-Commerce Industry should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Custodial exchanges are largely unprepared for breach: only 53 percent of small custodial exchanges and 78 percent of large custodial exchanges have a written policy setting out what happens to customer funds if a security breach causes loss. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through agentic commerce, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
