Potential and limits of Blockchain technology for networked businesses presents the following source proposition: New ways to organize economic activities are emerging, facilitated by Blockchain technology or the broader term Distributed Ledger Technology. 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.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.3881.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
