Governance Through Reputation: An Inventory of Reputation Systems in DAOs presents the following source proposition: DAOs aim to decentralize decision-making and empower participants through transparency and collective control. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Reputation based governance allocates decision power by past contribution and community standing, which promotes transparency and trust, but reputation is difficult to measure objectively. 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.
