Discretionary Disclosure, Transparency, and Accountability presents the following source proposition: I compare two scenarios: mandated and discretionary disclosure. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Fair accounting and transparency in reputation promote decentralization, because customers who can reliably compare reputation harness the available talent rather than waiting for the most talented provider to become free, which keeps reputation differences from accumulating. 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: 0.5283.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
