Deep dives
Understanding the Anti-Capture Framework
The anti-capture framework developed by Spencer aims to analyze and manage the risk of capture within organizations, particularly decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). It emphasizes that protection against capture should focus on execution rather than just decision-making. This distinction is critical, as traditional organizations often protect against internal capture through governance structures but can still be vulnerable to external influences. By providing a language and set concepts for evaluating these risks, the framework facilitates a deeper understanding of organizational dynamics and how to safeguard communal resources from both internal and external threats.
