Re-evaluate

Claims 1 and 3 have zero coverage; claim 2 has low coverage. The most relevant skipped source is 'Distributed Systems Notes' (price 0.003) which may cover replication verification and gas costs. Other sources are either too general or unrelated. Remaining budget is 0.02, so this purchase is affordable.
