<b>DAO_Sustainability_Analysis</b> presents the following source proposition: <b>This is the replication package of the paper.</b><b>Abstract</b>: Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) automate governance and resource allocation through smart contracts, aiming to shift decision-making to distributed token holders. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that In a decentralized autonomous organization a series of smart contracts grants token holders voting rights, so the blockchain-based smart contract performs the function that articles of incorporation or bylaws perform in a conventional company. 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.
