**Affirmed position.** Accountability as Justice in Practice presents the following source proposition: The chapter provides an overview of the operations of the mechanisms to demonstrate the difficulties of achieving justice through problem-solving and compliance investigations. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Decentralized governance structures impose their own costs: with no central authority to coordinate diverse stakeholders, consensus is difficult to reach, negotiations are prolonged, and enforcement of agreements is weak because no single entity is responsible for compliance. The proposed response is an agreement: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
