The gathered sources cover settlement latency, nanopayments, and agent payments but not this specific sub-claim.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "Retro-inspired AI agents can improve the efficiency of settl…": 20% covered by S3, S5 — S3 discusses sub-second settlement finality on Arc, and S5 discusses batching for efficiency, but neither mentions retro-inspired AI agents. Coverage is low.

Re-evaluate

All sub-claims have coverage below 0.5. The remaining budget is 0.02, sufficient to buy multiple sources at 0.002-0.003 each. Recommended sources are relevant crypto/fintech news outlets that may cover stablecoin consensus innovations, including retro-inspired approaches. Other skipped sources (gardening, retro gaming, esoteric) are irrelevant.
