<span>CRI: A Multi-Factor Reputation System for Autonomous Agent Commerce</span> presents the following source proposition: Each component is grounded in published research from trust systems, game theory, and commons governance. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Truly increasing counterparty trust in decentralized smart contract based commerce requires that counterparties be able to review a long history of each other's conduct in decentralized commerce and of performance in earlier smart contracts. 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.
