Towards Trust and Reputation as a Service in a Blockchain-based Decentralized Marketplace presents the following source proposition: Motivated by the challenges inherent in implementing trusted services in the Society 5.0 initiative, we propose a novel trust and reputation service for a decentralized marketplace. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain's formal immutable guarantees, improved data ownership, transparency, network integrity, and data privacy together generate a form of trust that helps optimize both business and society. 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: 0.357.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
