Towards Blockchains for architectural design Consensus mechanisms for collaboration in BIM presents the following source proposition: The original contribution of the paper is the use of the design optimisation performance as a consensus mechanism for block writing in blockchains. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Contemporary blockchains cannot support the proposed architecture because the technology is too slow and expensive to poll members on every transaction, and the messages required for all nodes to register all votes on every action multiply into an unmanageable number. 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.
