Constructing Democratic Organizations with Digital Technology presents the following source proposition: It examines the shift from autocratic structures to more decentralized models, such as Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), which promote participatory decision-making. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The authors stipulate that functioning democracies are decentralized autonomous organizations: the United States government is a DAO, as are Norway, Mauritius, Uruguay, and South Korea, and every functioning democracy is more akin to a DAO than to a centralized corporation. 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: 0.362.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
