> ⚠ Low confidence — Each summary sentence is tied to a verbatim excerpt and model-checked; completeness and independent factual correctness remain unverified. Evidence assessment: 2 sub-claims remain below the evidence threshold. Treat this as provisional.
Model-written summary with sentence-level citations. Each sentence is followed by the verbatim source text it was checked against; sentences without a qualifying excerpt were removed.
Research target 1
Requested topic (unverified): “What is the specific claim about citation rewards weighted by source contribution as presented in Onchain Micropayments Digest?”
The claim is that the model proposes contribution weights for accepted sources, which Keryx then resolves and uses to allocate the citation pool. Source text: “The model proposes contribution weights for accepted sources.”
Keryx resolves the proposed contribution weights and allocates the citation pool using integer micro-USDC amounts. Source text: “Keryx resolves those weights and allocates the citation pool using integer micro-USDC amounts.”
Research target 2
Requested topic (unverified): “What evidence or methodology does Onchain Micropayments Digest provide to support the claim about citation rewards weighted by source contribution?”
A citation can qualify for a reward only when its source marker appears in the answer, the synthesis declares that marker, and a validated quotation has support of at least 0.4. Source text: “A citation can qualify for a reward only when its source marker appears in the answer, the synthesis declares that marker, and a validated quotation has support of at least 0.4.”
Only sources accepted by the evidence ledger enter the allocation of the citation pool. Source text: “Only sources accepted by the evidence ledger enter this allocation.”
Research target 3
Requested topic (unverified): “What are the limitations or assumptions of the claim about citation rewards weighted by source contribution as discussed in Onchain Micropayments Digest?”
A reward does not establish that the job achieved adequate coverage. Source text: “A reward therefore does not establish that the job achieved adequate coverage.”
A narrow quotation may qualify for a citation reward even when the final assessment says the wider question is only partially answered. Source text: “A narrow quotation may qualify for a citation reward even when the final assessment says the wider question is only partially answered.”
Evidence gap: the recorded assessment remains below the support threshold for this target.
Research target 4
Requested topic (unverified): “What alternative explanations or counterarguments exist regarding the claim about citation rewards weighted by source contribution, and how does Onchain Micropayments Digest address them?”
The documentation is first-party engineering documentation based on repository commit 9ea84fa, not independent reporting or customer evidence. Source text: “This is first-party engineering documentation based on repository commit 9ea84fa, not independent reporting or customer evidence.”
Evidence gap: the recorded assessment remains below the support threshold for this target.
Summary sentences are model-written and model-checked, not independently verified; they claim no more than their excerpts and are not a complete synthesis. Excerpts establish source grounding, not that a source is correct. Source statements may be wrong or conflicting. Payment states remain in the separate receipt.

Final coverage assessment — The question asks for a follow-up question to test the claim about citation rewards weighted by source contribution from Onchain Micropayments Digest. The gathered sources include S1 (Keryx Engineering first-party documentation) which directly describes the mechanism: the model proposes contribution weights, Keryx resolves them, and allocates the citation pool using integer micro-USDC amounts. S2-S4 are general micropayment references and do not address citation rewards. The sub-claims ask for the specific claim, evidence/methodology, limitations/assumptions, and alternative explanations. S1 provides the specific claim and some methodology (proposed weights, resolved by Keryx, integer allocation), but lacks details on how weights are computed, limitations, or counterarguments. Coverage is partial for sub-claims 1 and 2, and zero for 3 and 4. A follow-up question should target the missing details, such as how contribution weights are determined or validated. The assessment does not establish a complete supported answer for every requested part.

Portable research receipt
Take the evidence trail with you
One deterministic JSON bundle binds the answer, visible decisions, exact article versions, claim evidence and a Circle-settlement snapshot under SHA-256. Retain the digest to detect later changes; the self-check is not a publisher or Keryx signature.
Recorded purchase outcomes
Did the exact article versions bought for this answer appear in its citations? This view scores retained BUY decisions against payment observations recorded in the same dispatch trace.
Recorded settlement bookkeeping only; Circle and chain settlement have not been independently rechecked here.
This is a partial retained trace sample, not a full payment ledger. An absent matching payment does not prove that no payment occurred; excluded and unconfirmed costs remain unknown.

0 scored exact-version purchases from 0 recorded BUY decisions; 0 BUY decisions unscored. 1 of 1 trace payment observations excluded.
Each unique source + item + content version with positive matching recorded settled access counts once. Duplicate BUYs, missing identities, zero/unconfirmed access and incompatible payment observations cannot create a scored purchase. CACHE and SKIP decisions are outside this sample.

No scored purchases; the hit rate is unmeasured.
Counts only scored purchases. Descriptive access cost, not causal regret or proof that the purchase was useless.
Predicted value and observed citations
Bins compare the recorded predicted value with citation occurrence in this one dispatch. Small samples do not validate a probability model.

Missed value, cost per supported claim, budget alternatives and counterfactual outcomes are unmeasured. No extra reading or learning was performed.
Exact receipt still current
