**Affirmed position.** A Super-Agent-Based Framework for Reputation Management assigns higher-capability super-agents the role of maintaining service-reputation information and sharing it with lower-capability consumer agents inside decentralized systems. This supplies a capability-tiered information-layer design that qualifies Kaal's requirement that reputation repositories and oracles themselves be decentralized. The abstract does not establish how the manager layer avoids concentrated control or manipulation.

**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 qualification.
- 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 assigns higher-capability super-agents the role of maintaining service-reputation information and sharing it with lower-capability consumer agents inside decentralized systems. This supplies a capability-tiered information-layer design that qualifies Kaal's requirement that reputation repositories and oracles themselves be decentralized, while the abstract does not establish how the manager layer avoids concentrated control or manipulation.
