The framework's prescriptive value is greater for DAOs in formation than in operation: a DAO designed today can adopt the prescribed architectures from inception at marginal cost, while an operating DAO faces significant migration costs and contributor-relationship risks.

A DAO that is in operation today has to add the prescribed architectures on top of existing infrastructure, with significant migration costs and significant risks to existing contributor relationships.
