Blockchain-Augmented Organizations presents the following source proposition: Blockchains can be used to enable new kinds of organizations, especially Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO). This proposition is pertinent to 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 proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

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