**2018**

- [3128900-014](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-014) [design/argued] -- Decentralized crypto market solutions can significantly optimize the existing mechanical turk market while simultaneously democratizing access to it.
  > Decentralized crypto market solutions for the existing mechanical turk market can provide significant optimization while democratizing market access.

- [3128900-020](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-020) [predictive/argued] -- Because platform access requires only an internet connection rather than a bank account, the decentralized design expands the micro task labor pool by up to 40 percent, including the unbanked.
  > The Semada Platform GUI gives access to anyone with an internet connection, including the unbanked. Thus, expanding the micro task labor pool by up to 40%.

- [3128900-041](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-041) [condition/argued] -- Because holding and storing the platform's tokens requires no banking relationship, internet access is the only requirement for a micro task worker to earn a living on the platform.
  > Holding and storing Semada tokens does not necessitate a banking relationship. All that is needed for a micro task worker to earn a living on the Semada Platform is access to the Internet.

**2019**

- [3396542-037](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3396542-037) [predictive/argued] -- The proposed DAO design is likely to lower barriers to entry in insurance, since non traditional firms and even individual investors can buy tokens at auction and then either underwrite with them or hold them passively.
  > In addition, the particular design outlined above is likely to facilitate the entry of new players to the insurance market. It is possible for a DAO to allow the participation of non-traditional firms and even individual investors.

- [3995709-026](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3995709-026) [mechanism/asserted] -- Decentralized code review underwriting makes the code review market more efficient because it democratizes the functions of code review and frees untapped sources of power and knowledge.
  > Decentralized code review underwriting democratizes the functions of code reviews. This makes the code review market more efficient because it frees untapped sources of power and knowledge.
