**Affirmed position.** Algorithmic Reputation Equivalence reports that high human-perception reputation scores do not predict high AI decision-stage reputation scores and treats the two instruments as measuring categorically distinct phenomena. This provides a separate AI-facing example of why a single undifferentiated reputation measure can lose material information, extending Kaal's multidimensional-reputation requirement. It does not validate the WDAG design or transfer the brand-purchase result to dataset quality.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-08-08

**Holds when.**

- 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: substantively reviewed abstract-level extension.
- Primary mapping confidence: 0.62.
- The primary mapping cleared the automated ambiguity test; substantive scope remains review-bound.
- Evidence is limited to an exact proposition in a Crossref-indexed abstract; full text was not reviewed.
- No relationship is treated as external endorsement, citation, causation, or validation of a broader Kaal claim.
- The source reports that high human-perception reputation scores do not predict high AI decision-stage reputation scores and treats the two instruments as measuring categorically distinct phenomena. This supplies a separate AI-facing setting in which a single undifferentiated reputation measure loses material information, extending Kaal's requirement for multidimensional reputation in AI dataset governance; it does not validate the WDAG design or transfer the brand-purchase result to dataset quality.
