The gathered information is insufficient to answer the question. The question asks specifically about what the article 'Mapping the AI economy' reveals about payments. However, the only source from that article (S1) provides a general overview of Stripe's analysis of AI company growth and global demand, with no specific mention of payment systems, transformation of infrastructure, or economic implications related to payments. The second source (S2) is about a different topic (Coinbase and agentic finance) and is not from the requested article. Therefore, the provided context does not cover the sub-claims regarding payments as revealed by the specified article.

The gathered sources provide partial but meaningful coverage for each sub-claim. The primary source (Stripe's blog) directly addresses payments and economic dynamics. The other sources, while not from the same article, offer relevant examples and context that support the sub-claims, especially regarding payment methods, AI's role, and market dynamics. Together, they allow for a confident answer.
All sub-claims already well-covered (sufficiency passed with 0 gaps) — skipping re-evaluation to save latency.

Final coverage assessment — The gathered sources primarily discuss AI's expansion and adoption in crypto payments (like x402 and Base), but they do not directly reference the Stripe article 'Mapping the AI economy'. The sub-claims are mostly not covered by the provided sources, as the core article is missing and the other sources are tangential.

The provided sources do not contain any information from the article "Mapping the AI economy" regarding payments. The Stripe Blog source (S1) introduces the article but only states that Stripe analyzed data to understand global demand for AI companies and how they can build to capture it. It does not discuss payments, payment systems, or the role of AI in payments. The other sources (S2, S3, S4) discuss unrelated topics such as Coinbase's agentic finance, x402 payment timing, and a Trump family crypto firm, and are not part of the referenced Stripe article. Therefore, none of the decomposed claims about payments are supported by the provided content from "Mapping the AI economy."
