Sufficiency

The only gathered source (S1) discusses Scott Bessent's comments on the K-shaped economy and inequality, but does not mention AI exposure, AI patents, or any findings from 'Mapping the AI economy'. Therefore, none of the sub-claims can be supported.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "AI exposure is concentrated in high-skill occupations, parti…": 0% covered — The gathered source (S1) discusses the K-shaped economy and wage inequality, but it does not address AI exposure by occupation or skill level.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "AI exposure is positively correlated with wages and employme…": 0% covered — No gathered content addresses the correlation between AI exposure, wages, or employment growth.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "AI innovation is geographically concentrated, with a few met…": 0% covered — The gathered source does not mention AI patents or geographic concentration of AI innovation.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "The distribution of AI exposure across occupations suggests …": 0% covered — While S1 mentions inequality, it does not link it to AI exposure or occupational distribution.

Re-evaluate

The only gathered content is irrelevant to the specific claims about AI mapping. The skipped source 'Stripe Blog — Mapping the AI economy' is directly on-topic, affordable ($0.002 within the remaining budget), and likely provides the relevant findings for all four sub-claims. Other skipped sources are off-topic and would not materially improve coverage.

Final coverage assessment — The gathered sources do not contain the specific findings mentioned in the subclaims. The Stripe blog text only mentions global expansion and growth without discussing occupational exposure, wages, geographic concentration of patents, or inequality.

Lowconfidence4 sub-claims remain below the evidence threshold

> ⚠ Low confidence — 4 sub-claims remain below the evidence threshold within budget. Treat this as provisional.

The available source excerpt from "Mapping the AI economy" does not include the actual key findings. It only states: "AI companies are undergoing rapid global expansion while achieving unprecedented rates of growth. We analyzed Stripe data to understand where global demand is the strongest, and how companies can build to best capture that demand." Therefore, none of the proposed subclaims about occupational exposure, wages, geographic patent concentration, or inequality can be confirmed from this source.

Evidence ledger — quotes verified before rewards

  1. AI exposure is concentrated in high-skill occupations, particularly in finance, technology, and management.

    0%
    AI companies are undergoing rapid global expansion while achieving unprecedented rates of growth. We analyzed Stripe data to understand where global demand is the strongest, and how companies can build to best capture that demand. [S2] Mapping the AI economy
  2. AI exposure is positively correlated with wages and employment growth, indicating that AI complements rather than replaces skilled workers.

    0%

    No reward-qualifying evidence

  3. AI innovation is geographically concentrated, with a few metropolitan areas accounting for the majority of AI patents.

    0%

    No reward-qualifying evidence

  4. The distribution of AI exposure across occupations suggests that AI may exacerbate inequality between high- and low-skill workers.
