Building Trust in Participatory Design to Promote Relational Network for Social Innovation should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Unlike corporate founders, who inherit a known governance template, DAO founders must build a new form of governance from nothing alongside their technology, mission, and values. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
