**Affirmed position.** Design and Implementation of a Blockchain-Enabled Crowdfunding Platform for Secure Transactions presents the following source proposition: However, most existing crowdfunding platforms operate in a centralized way, making them prone to high fees, fraud, and lack of transparency. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The combination of increased transparency, reduced costs, and competitive performance enabled by blockchain use may confer a competitive advantage that continues to exert pressure on fees charged by competitor funds. 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.
