**Affirmed position.** An intrinsic integrity-driven rating model for a sustainable reputation system presents the following source proposition: In the era of digital markets, the challenge for consumers is discerning quality amidst information asymmetry . This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain's formal immutable guarantees, improved data ownership, transparency, network integrity, and data privacy together generate a form of trust that helps optimize both business and society. The proposed response is a qualification: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
