**Affirmed position.** DAO 3.0: The Harmony Framework states that jurisdiction-specific DAO integration is fragmented and often fails to address DAOs' global, cross-border nature. This extends Kaal's more specific account of jurisdiction-bound legal representation as a centralizing feature of existing DAO solutions by supplying the cross-border scope mismatch. The abstract does not test representation requirements or show that every jurisdiction-specific structure fails.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-08-08

**Holds when.**

- 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: substantively reviewed abstract-level extension.
- Primary mapping confidence: 0.62.
- The primary mapping cleared the automated ambiguity test; substantive scope remains review-bound.
- Evidence is limited to an exact proposition in a Crossref-indexed abstract; full text was not reviewed.
- No relationship is treated as external endorsement, citation, causation, or validation of a broader Kaal claim.
- The source states that jurisdiction-specific DAO integration is fragmented and often fails to address DAOs' global cross-border nature. This extends Kaal's more specific account of jurisdiction-bound legal representation as a centralizing feature of existing DAO solutions by supplying the cross-border scope mismatch, while the abstract does not test representation requirements or show that every jurisdiction-specific structure fails.
