An AI-Enabled Financial Governance Framework for Infrastructure Projects presents the following source proposition: Methods: Using a Design Science Research approach, the framework was developed, prototyped, and evaluated using real-world infrastructure project data. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The degree of decentralization of an open source project is determined by the degree of hierarchy in its governance: a flat structure with consensus decision-making and no power disparities between developers is the most decentralized form. 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.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.3851.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
