**Affirmed position.** Smart Contracts, Blockchain and Health Policies: Past, Present and Future presents the following source proposition: However, challenges such as scalability, regulatory compliance, and interoperability continue to limit their widespread adoption. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Smart contracts undermine counterparties' ability to continue collaborating when unanticipated eventualities arise, because in most cases of unfulfilled parameters the smart contract will simply cancel out rather than allow partial performance. 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.
