**Affirmed position.** Equilibrium Synergy: Understanding the Market Performance of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Attack resistance across the studied DAOs averages 4.05 out of 10, and Charity DAOs perform worst in this category, with the best of them, VitaDAO, scoring 3 out of 10 and the remainder at 2 or less. 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

**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.
