at the most basic level, daos are simple. they facilitate two things: collective ownership and collective decision making. it starts to get more complicated when we consider the many ways to design daos. when it comes to designing daos, we spend too much time talking about how each dao is different and not enough time thinking about the ways in which they are the same. this lack of design framework either forces us to resort to traditional companies as a baseline model (porting over many of the limitations of traditional organizations) or to forgo any framework at all and struggle to manage a dao’s evolution.
