AI-Enabled ESG Scoring Models for Corporate Governance presents the following source proposition: The conventional methods of the ESG evaluation are inconsistent, subjective, and not standardized. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Prior scholarship on the corporate governance effects of non and deferred prosecution agreements rests largely on anecdotal evidence and individual case studies rather than on systematic evidence, which is why its conclusions about those effects are unreliable. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
