Blockchain in startups - A case study on the impact of blockchain on the business model of startup-companies in Norway presents the following source proposition: It has the possibility to lead to innovation in the creation of new product and technologies. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Venture capital investment in blockchain startups has grown exponentially since 2012, which the authors read as an indicator of the technology's commercial maturity. 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: 0.3968.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
