§ IIThe reading1 cited

> ⚠ Low confidence — Each summary sentence is tied to a verbatim excerpt and model-checked; completeness and independent factual correctness remain unverified. Evidence assessment: 1 evidence-verified source cover every sub-claim, but corroboration or support strength is limited. 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): “How does Keryx perform evidence checks before citation rewards in practice?”

Keryx considers a citation reward only after the answer is written and its evidence has been checked. Source text: “A citation reward is a separate payment considered after the answer is written and its evidence checked.”

A citation qualifies 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.”

Research target 2

Requested topic (unverified): “Which published material supports the explanation of Keryx's evidence checks before citation rewards?”

The explanation is supported by first-party engineering documentation from Keryx based on repository commit 9ea84fa. Source text: “This is first-party engineering documentation based on repository commit 9ea84fa, not independent reporting or customer evidence.”

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.

Evidence ledger — recorded source excerpts

Research targets are unverified topics. Coverage is an estimate of excerpt support, not proof of entailment, factual truth or a complete answer.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "How does Keryx perform evidence checks before citation rewar…": 90% covered by S1 — S1 passages describe the practical flow: the model proposes evidence records (research-question index, source marker, exact quote, estimated support score); the deterministic evidence ledger checks these proposals against the original content actually gathered; a citation qualifies for reward only when the source marker appears in the answer, the synthesis declares that marker, and a validated quotation has support >= 0.4; if the final evidence-assessment transport fails, reward authorization is disabled. This directly answers the practical mechanism. Minor gap: the exact implementation details of the 'deterministic evidence ledger' checks (e.g., how exact quote matching is performed) are not described, but the requested 'in practice' explanation is substantially covered.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "Which published material supports the explanation of Keryx's…": 100% covered by S1, S2 — S1 is first-party engineering documentation titled 'How Keryx pays cited creators' with explicit passages describing evidence checks before citation rewards. S2 is a first-party release note mentioning 'request missing evidence and compare signed provider offers', which supports the existence of evidence-checking features in the system. Together they identify the published material supporting the explanation.

Re-evaluate

Coverage for both sub-claims is high (0.9 and 1.0). The first-party documentation (S1) directly explains the practical evidence-check process before citation rewards, and S2 corroborates the feature. No affordable skipped sources are relevant to this specific question; remaining budget is minimal and additional purchases would not materially improve coverage.

Sufficiency

Final check — "How does Keryx perform evidence checks before citation rewar…": 100% assessed by S1

Sufficiency

Final check — "Which published material supports the explanation of Keryx's…": 100% assessed by S1

Sufficiency

Final coverage assessment — S1 provides first-party engineering documentation that directly describes the evidence check process before citation rewards: the model proposes evidence records, the deterministic evidence ledger checks them against gathered content, and a citation qualifies only if the marker appears in the answer, the synthesis declares it, and a validated quotation has support >= 0.4. S2 is a release note mentioning 'request missing evidence and compare signed provider offers' but does not explain the evidence check process in practice. Therefore, S1 fully supports the first sub-claim, and S1 is the published material supporting the explanation. S2 provides only tangential context.
