**Affirmed position.** DECENTRALIZED AUTONOMOUS ORGANIZATIONS IN A PERIOD OF GEOPOLITICAL INSTABILITY should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Because time spent raising capital from limited partners is time taken away from portfolio company due diligence, the current VC model tends to reflect the networking and public relations ability of the general partner instead of their capital allocation ability. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralized autonomous organization, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

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