**Affirmed position.** LeechHijack: Covert Computational Resource Exploitation in Intelligent Agent Systems should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Member default on premia is a major inefficiency in chit funds, with estimates that a large share of subscribers have defaulted at least once recently and a substantial share have defaulted after winning an auction. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- chit fund participants, per the cited study
- 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.
