Maintenance-based trust for multi-agent systems presents the following source proposition: In last years, trust and reputation has been gaining increasing interest in multi-agent systems (MAS). This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The delegation of technology policy to politicians advised by experts rested on public trust that has since eroded: consistent empirical evidence shows that trust in both government and experts has declined in recent years. 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: 0.417.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
