**Affirmed position.** Managing the Transparency and Trade Secret Conflict in AI Accountability: Layered Access as Governance Design presents the following source proposition: This paper argues that for many cases the conflict can be managed upstream through AI governance design, rather than only resolved downstream through dispute resolution. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The authors stipulate distributed jurisdiction as a regulatory alternative in which conflict resolution for blockchain transactions is supplied by governance solutions inherent in the blockchain technology itself rather than by external legal authorities. 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.
