Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) – A Review presents the following source proposition: Investors place their digital assets in liquidity pools using code-driven smart contracts without the need for an intermediary to ensure that all parties meet their obligations. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A decentralized autonomous organization is merely computer code with no directors, managers or employees, its governance structure built with software, code and smart contracts running on a public decentralized blockchain platform. 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: 0.431.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
