IF/THEN Democracy: Exploring the World of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) presents the following source proposition: Our goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and challenges that DAOs pose for the future of work and organizational management, as well as to explore their implications for society at large. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Decentralized Autonomous Organizations challenge the core belief that governance necessitates agency, attacking organizational design at a fundamental level rather than merely reforming it. 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.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.3602.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
