The Economics of Agentic AI: Runtime Governance as a Distinct Determinant of Enterprise AI Cost presents the following source proposition: Established optimization techniques lower unit cost and can reduce computation under technical and budget conditions. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Hidden action, that is moral hazard, and hidden information, that is adverse selection, are not merely reduced in the agentic economy but rendered computationally impossible at the substrate level, because every intermediate computation is attested on chain or through zero knowledge proofs. 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.
