**Affirmed position.** Decentralization in Uganda: Explaining Successes and Failures in Local Governance by Gina S. Lambright (review) should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The absence of proper decentralized governance built on non-fungible tokens is a key common denominator across DAO failures and rug pulls. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralization governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- Apply only within the source-bound Kaal claim's stated scope.
- External evidence level: metadata only.
- Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
