Scalable Distributed Ledger Paradigms for Secure IoT-Driven Data Management in Smart Cities presents the following source proposition: Blockchain has become a cornerstone of trustworthy, decentralised information governance. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The core issues that afflict centralized governance solutions, including information asymmetries, censorship, opportunism of agents, breaches of fiduciary duties, and fraud, can only be truly removed if and when a truly decentralized public blockchain emerges that is scalable and fully secure. 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: 0.4352.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
