**Affirmed position.** Blockchain-Augmented Organizations presents the following source proposition: Nevertheless, blockchains provide many unique functions, such as immutability, security, trust, and traceability, so that they can be used to augment existing software solutions. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Adoption of blockchain is costly and technically difficult because the technology is continually evolving and integrating blockchain databases with existing systems raises many technical challenges, such as interfacing a payment ledger with a vehicle's control software. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
