Legal Uncertainty and DAOs in the Digital Economy presents the following source proposition: Despite their potential benefits for advancing organizational models of the digital economy, a significant challenge for the adoption of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are the existing legal uncertainties that result in significant risks for their operators. 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 a qualification: 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: 0.4138.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
