The Standing Gap: An Accountability Gap that Survives Transparency presents the following source proposition: Professional conclusions warrant reliance partly because they are formed within institutions that place a licence, reputation, legal position, and disciplinary identity at stake. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Reputation based governance allocates decision power by past contribution and community standing, which promotes transparency and trust, but reputation is difficult to measure objectively. 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.
