**Affirmed position.** AI, Blockchain, and IoT Driving Innovation in Connected Ecosystems presents the following source proposition: AI advances Blockchain's key distinctives, and open ledgers by changing data processing and pattern recognition alongside decision-making. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A drawback of the traditional VC evaluation process is that perceptual, emotional, and cognitive processes affect the investment decision alongside financial considerations, because the evaluation criteria are applied through subjective human decision making. 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.
