**Affirmed position.** Categorization of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations in the Aragon platform presents the following source proposition: The paper proposes an empirically grounded categorization of DAOs in terms of their operative domain, purpose, scope, voting processes, and use of crypto-tokens. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Transparent DAO governance lets platforms compensate contributors according to demonstrated expertise and reputation, which mitigates the exploitative labor practices associated with centralized annotation services. 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
