Disentangling governance talk from governance substance: Family firms, AI-related disclosure intensity, and governance decoupling presents the following source proposition: Governance disclosure in family firms reflects a trade-off between external demands for transparency and family owners’ concerns for control, reputation, and continuity. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Automatic adjustment mechanisms trade democratic input for responsiveness: by removing policy changes from the legislative agenda they limit opportunities for public debate and scrutiny, which raises accountability and transparency concerns. 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.
