Why this rating: OpenGov on-chain referenda give any DOT holder the right to propose and vote treasury spends, with funds releasing automatically once a referendum passes — no multisig gate. Strong procedural rights, but the treasury is funded by 15% of DOT inflation (not protocol revenue routed to holders), so DOT carries no economic right. GSA-1 pass: treasury spend origins are on-chain OpenGov tracks; auto-release on referendum pass (no multisig gate); GSA-3 fail: treasury funded by inflation/burn, not protocol revenue to DOT holders; Q4 2025 first OpenGov 'profit' (spend discipline), not a distribution right
GSA-1 pass: treasury spend origins are on-chain OpenGov tracks; auto-release on referendum pass (no multisig gate)
GSA-3 fail: treasury funded by inflation/burn, not protocol revenue to DOT holders; Q4 2025 first OpenGov 'profit' (spend discipline), not a distribution right
GSA-2 near-miss: no elected delegates/operators to fire; Fellowship (technical curators) members can be demoted via vote but there is no direct recall mechanism
GSA-5 near-miss: quarterly treasury reports + on-chain transparency, not contract-enforced

Curated metric — next quarterly update. On-chain revenue, treasury, and distribution-enforcement reads are not yet wired for this DAO's space in the Institute's state files; the quarterly re-assessment cycle will populate this block.
