Factual accuracy — The new evidence accurately summarizes Krier's proposed institutional mechanisms for AI alignment, focusing on Coasean bargaining and nested layers of alignment.
Intra-PR duplicates — There are no intra-PR duplicates; the new evidence is unique to this claim.
Confidence calibration — The claim "AI alignment is a coordination problem not a technical problem" is supported by the new evidence, which describes institutional mechanisms for coordination, and the confidence level remains appropriate.
Wiki links — The wiki link [[2025-09-26-krier-coasean-bargaining-at-scale]] points to a source that is also part of this PR, so it is not broken.

Review of PR: Enrichment to AI Alignment Coordination Claim

1. Schema

The modified file is a claim with valid frontmatter (type, domain, confidence, source, created, description present), and the enrichment follows the correct evidence format with source reference and date.

2. Duplicate/redundancy

The Krier enrichment adds genuinely new evidence about institutional mechanisms (Coasean bargaining via AI agents, transaction cost collapse, Matryoshkan alignment framework) that is distinct from the existing evidence about market failures, governance strategies, and UK research approaches.

3. Confidence

The claim maintains "high" confidence, which is justified given the accumulation of evidence from multiple independent sources (Hendrycks, UK AI4CI, Krier) all converging on coordination/governance framing rather than purely technical solutions.

4. Wiki links

The enrichment references [[2025-09-26-krier-coasean-bargaining-at-scale]] which appears to be a source file in the inbox/queue directory; this is a valid source reference pattern and not a broken wiki link to a claim.

5. Source quality

Krier's work on Coasean bargaining mechanisms and institutional economics applied to AI governance represents credible academic analysis relevant to coordination problem framing.

6. Specificity

The claim remains falsifiable—one could disagree by arguing alignment is primarily a technical capability problem (e.g., interpretability, robustness) rather than coordination, and the enrichment strengthens this by adding concrete institutional mechanisms that could be challenged.
