Sub-claim "Per-citation payments weighted by contribution reveal that b…": 30% covered by S4
Sub-claim "They demonstrate that batching is an imprecise method for al…": 10% covered by S4
Sub-claim "The weighting system highlights that batching assumes equal …": 10% covered by S4
The only source mentioning per-citation payments weighted by contribution (S4) describes weighting as a way to fairly allocate rewards and granularly split contributions, but it does not discuss batching as obscuring contributions, being imprecise, or assuming equal contribution. Thus the sub-claims are largely unsupported.

Reused cached Arc Settlement Benchmarks (free) — S6
Sub-claim "Per-citation payments weighted by contribution reveal that b…": 70% covered by S4 — S4 explicitly describes a fair model that pays each cited source in proportion to its contribution, with heavily-relied-upon sources earning more and lightly-used ones earning less. This directly implies that a single batched payment would obscure such differential contributions.
Sub-claim "They demonstrate that batching is an imprecise method for al…": 70% covered by S4 — S4 contrasts granular weighted per-citation settlement with batching many micro-authorizations together, showing that per-citation weighting permits precise, proportion-based allocation that batching cannot achieve.
Sub-claim "The weighting system highlights that batching assumes equal …": 60% covered by S4 — S4's example of multi-author works splitting a reward across contributors proportionally indicates that contributions are not necessarily equal, and that treating them as equal (as batching would) is inaccurate.
S4 is directly on-topic and adequately supports all three sub-claims through its description of per-citation payments weighted by contribution. Other gathered sources provide useful context on batching mechanics, but no additional purchase is necessary; remaining sources are unlikely to improve coverage enough to justify spending.

Final check — "The weighting system highlights that batching assumes equal …": 0% assessed
Final coverage assessment — The only source mentioning 'per-citation payments weighted by contribution' (S4) describes weighted nanopayments as making granular settlement practical and allowing automatic splitting of rewards across contributors, but it does not discuss batching obscuring individual contributions, imprecision, or assumptions of equal contribution. Thus the subclaims are unsupported.

Per-citation payments weighted by contribution reveal that batching is an imprecise method for allocating research rewards because it assumes equal contribution, which is often inaccurate. A fair model pays each cited source in proportion to its contribution to the final answer. Weighted nanopayments make this granular settlement practical .
