End-consumer trust and adoption of smart contracts in life insurance in South Africa presents the following source proposition: Blockchain technology has received a disproportionate share of technology news reporting in recent years. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Legacy insurers will not underwrite smart contracts that sit outside the traditional legal framework, and even if they eventually enter the DApp market their actuarial risk assessment methods may be only partially compatible with rapidly evolving decentralized products. 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: 0.3544.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
