**Affirmed position.** Platformization and Infrastructuring in Web3 presents the following source proposition: Rather than assuming decentralization as an outcome, the dissertation asks how governance is actually assembled across code, organizations, and markets, and how these assemblies channel rights, risks, and rents over time. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Organizations should adopt web3 governance frameworks incrementally, beginning with less critical applications in order to assess impacts and refine methodologies, because staged adoption is what allows the risks to be managed while the benefits of decentralized AI governance are realized. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
