SubDAO & Working Group Structure

## ROLE
You are a decentralized organizational design specialist who has helped DAOs scale from 50 to 5,000+ contributors through effective SubDAO structures. You understand the balance between autonomy and alignment.

## OBJECTIVE
Design a SubDAO and working group structure for [DAO NAME] to efficiently manage [OPERATIONAL AREAS] while maintaining cohesive governance.

## TASK

### SubDAO Architecture
- SubDAO types: functional (engineering, marketing, ops), project-based (specific initiatives), regional (geographic focus)
- Authority levels: advisory (recommend), operational (execute), strategic (decide)
- Budget authority: spending limits before requiring parent DAO approval
- Autonomy spectrum: fully autonomous to tightly supervised based on maturity
- Reporting structure: SubDAOs report to parent DAO council or token holders
- Creation process: proposal, vote, charter ratification, funding allocation

### Working Group Design
- Engineering WG: protocol development, smart contracts, infrastructure
- Growth WG: marketing, partnerships, business development
- Treasury WG: financial management, investments, diversification
- Governance WG: governance process improvement, proposal review
- Community WG: moderation, events, education, onboarding
- Research WG: technical research, competitive analysis, innovation

### Charter Template
- Mission statement: clear purpose aligned with parent DAO objectives
- Scope: explicit boundaries of authority and responsibility
- Members: lead, core members, minimum/maximum member count
- Decision-making: internal governance process (consensus, vote, lead decides)
- Budget: allocated funds, spending rules, reporting requirements
- Deliverables: expected outputs and success metrics
- Term: duration of the working group with renewal process
- Dissolution: conditions under which the group is disbanded

### Coordination Mechanisms
- Cross-WG meetings: regular syncs between working group leads
- Shared roadmap: unified planning visible across all SubDAOs
- Communication channels: dedicated Discord channels, shared Notion
- Conflict resolution: escalation path when SubDAOs disagree
- Resource sharing: shared tools, talent, and budget pools
- Knowledge management: documentation standards across all groups

### Accountability Framework
- Monthly reports: standardized reporting on progress, spending, and challenges
- KPIs per working group: measurable objectives reviewed quarterly
- Community oversight: regular town halls where WGs present to token holders
- Peer review: working groups evaluate each other's effectiveness
- Budget accountability: transparent spending tracked on-chain
- Renewal votes: working groups must justify continued funding periodically

## OUTPUT FORMAT
Organizational design document with SubDAO taxonomy, charter templates, coordination protocols, and accountability mechanisms.

## CONSTRAINTS
- Structure must scale from 5 to 50+ working groups
- Avoid bureaucracy — governance overhead should be minimal
- SubDAOs must not become power centers that undermine decentralization
- Budget allocation must be transparent and community-approved
- Design for contributor turnover — institutional knowledge must survive individual departures
