Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "What does Keryx's documentation say about the process of rec…": 90% covered by S1 — The first-party documentation (S1) directly describes the recovery process: after a connection failure or process restart, use the 'resume' command with the same job directory. It states that resume sends only GET requests for the original job, does not sign a new authorization or replay a purchase, and warns that deleting the journal and buying again can create a second debit. This directly answers the sub-claim.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "How does the recovery process for a paid research job relate…": 30% covered by S1 — S1 mentions the client uses the caller's already-funded wallet but does not automatically fund or deposit for it. It also notes that 'ambiguous cases may require operator reconciliation' and that unused creator reserve is not an automatic refund. However, the text never explicitly mentions USDC, stablecoins, or any specific payment rail. The only payment-related context is general wallet funding and reconciliation. S2 provides general information about USDC settlement but is not connected to Keryx. Therefore, the specific relationship between Keryx's recovery process and USDC is not covered.

Re-evaluate

The first sub-claim is well covered by S1. The second sub-claim lacks any mention of USDC in the Keryx documentation; however, the skipped sources do not appear to be directly relevant to connecting Keryx's recovery process to USDC. They include general crypto news, payment timing studies, and unrelated technical topics. No affordable source seems likely to fill the specific gap about USDC's role in Keryx's system, and the budget is minimal. Therefore, no purchase is recommended.

Sufficiency

Final coverage assessment — The gathered sources include a detailed first-party documentation on Keryx's process for recovering a paid research job and a brief abstract on USDC settlement. The first source directly answers the first sub-claim about Keryx's recovery process. However, neither source explicitly connects the recovery process to USDC, so the second sub-claim remains largely unsupported. Coverage is assessed based solely on the supplied passages. The assessment does not establish a complete supported answer for every requested part.

> ⚠ Low confidence — 1 sub-claim remains below the evidence threshold within budget. Treat this as provisional.

According to Keryx's documentation, recovering a paid research job involves using a resume command after a connection failure or process restart, which sends only GET requests for the original job without signing a new authorization or replaying a purchase . The document does not explicitly describe how this recovery process relates to or involves USDC within the system; it focuses on client-side procedures and warnings about payment ambiguity. USDC itself is described in a separate source as a fully-reserved dollar stablecoin that settles peer-to-peer onchain in seconds, which could facilitate such payments, but this is not connected in the provided texts.
