I am surprised by Gauntlet’s lack of professionalism on this matter. Were there any attempts by Gauntlet to resolve these issues?

The examples of inconsistent guidelines and unwritten objectives provided sound like normal DAO governance (when a variety of stakeholders are involved). Can’t help but think there are ulterior motives to this decision.

Ending a 1 yr contract a few months after renewal on the basis of DAO inefficiencies and disagreements hurts the credibility of Gauntlet. Going forward, future clients should be aware that contractual obligations can be terminated at any time for any reason.
