Decision Infrastructure: A Governance-First Mathematical Framework for Human-Final AI Systems presents the following source proposition: Existing architectures optimize for speed, accuracy, and automation, but systematically fail to incorporate governance constraints, uncertainty boundaries, and human-final authority principles. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Contingent convertible bonds placed in executive compensation serve a different purpose than those sold to investors: the point is not capital infusion during a crisis but governance-improving design that optimizes management incentives. The proposed response is a qualification: 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.
