**Affirmed position.** Investment Firms, Accountability, and the Effective Rule of Law presents the following source proposition: The chapter then considers the implications of these findings for EU law and the EU legal system. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The study's findings are bounded in time: because the data was collected within three months of the registration effective date, the study shows trends and perceptions but does not provide insights on the long-term implications of the registration and disclosure requirements. 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.
