**Affirmed position.** From watchdogs to partners in tech innovation: Navigating regulatory roles in Norway’s AI sandbox presents the following source proposition: Critical engagement with our data suggests that sandbox design should not be reduced to technical and procedural questions. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Regulatory sandboxes are an instance of regulatory decentralization: by lowering regulatory barriers and costs for testing disruptive technologies while protecting consumers, the regulator fosters innovation in increasingly decentralized products and services. 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.
