Business models for digital innovation intermediaries: evidence from the digital innovation hubs initiative presents the following source proposition: Innovation intermediaries are increasingly mobilized in policy programs to support the adoption and diffusion of digital technologies. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Large managers will begin adopting blockchain and related technologies only once the long term benefits exceed implementation cost, and because implementation cost is much higher for large managers than for the small managers now experimenting, adoption is delayed at the top of the industry. The proposed response is an agreement: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
