**Affirmed position.** Contractualizing Corporate Governance presents the following source proposition: The relationship between fiduciary duty and contract has never been clear. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that It is unclear whether corporations with CIAs will be uniformly affected, and future courts are likely to expand the basic legal duty of care only where the facts suggest that the CIA actually provided directors with more knowledge about compliance activities. 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.
