**Affirmed position.** Do you need a DAO?:A framework for assessing DAO suitability presents the following source proposition: Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have seen exponential growth and interest due to their potential to redefine organizational structure and governance. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The Universal Digital Law Codex should route disputes to decentralized arbitration platforms such as arbitration DAOs, providing a forum for human oversight precisely when immutable code fails to resolve a conflict, for example defective performance or unforeseen circumstances. 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.
