**Affirmed position.** <b>DAO_Sustainability_Analysis</b> presents the following source proposition: However, many DAOs face sustainability challenges linked to limited user participation, concentrated voting power, and technical design constraints. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Poorly governed DAOs face significant risks of centralization, lack of transparency, and inefficiency, so effective governance structures are a precondition for DAO sustainability. 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.

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