**Affirmed position.** Matteo Baldoni, Cristina Baroglio, Olivier Boissier, Roberto Micalizio, Stefano Tedeschi extend Kaal's source-bound position through Engineering Business Processes through Accountability and Agents. The indexed proposition states that we claim that an explicit representation of accountability and responsibility relationships can increase the robustness of such systems by guiding and systematizing both design and development. This bears on Kaal's claim that internal monitoring by AI agent developers and owners is fragmented and unreliable because there are no auditing standards against external benchmarks and no accountability mechanisms for deviations such as insider manipulation or third party agent risk. The external source proposes explicit accountability and responsibility relationships as a robustness mechanism, providing a design response to Kaal's finding that fragmented monitoring lacks accountability standards. The response is limited to the indexed proposition and does not imply review of the full external work.
