Sahaay: An AI and Blockchain-Enhanced Crowdfunding Platform presents the following source proposition: Sahaay employs a decentralized ledger to make sure that all transactions, from pledges to giving out money, are entirely open and can’t be modified. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Internet based platform businesses and distributed ledger technology businesses have not reached their full potential, and the core factor holding them back is worldwide decreasing trust in the internet together with under developed trust in decentralized technology solutions. 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.

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