Sub-claim "What aspects of Keryx contribution weights for creator payou…": 60% covered by S1 — S1 directly identifies a key misunderstanding: a model-proposed contribution weight does not choose a recipient or change the source's payout authority, and a citation reward does not establish that the job achieved adequate coverage. It also notes weights are resolved by Keryx and only ledger-accepted sources enter allocation. However, it does not enumerate commonly misunderstood aspects beyond these points or address ambiguity in how weights are resolved.

Sub-claim "What does the available evidence actually show about how Ker…": 70% covered by S1 — S1 states the model proposes contribution weights for accepted sources, Keryx resolves those weights and allocates the citation pool using integer micro-USDC amounts, only ledger-accepted sources enter allocation, and payment calls use the source's authoritative payment terms. It does not provide the actual weight-resolution formula or detailed allocation mechanics, leaving a small requested gap.

Coverage is adequate for both sub-claims. S1 is first-party Keryx engineering documentation that directly addresses the misunderstanding (model-proposed weights do not choose recipients or override payout authority) and the actual evidence (weights are resolved by Keryx, only ledger-accepted sources enter the citation pool, allocation uses integer micro-USDC, and payment calls use authoritative source terms). The remaining gaps concern weight-resolution mechanics and a fuller enumeration of ambiguities, which none of the affordable skipped sources address; they cover unrelated topics such as x402 settlement, stablecoins, and crypto news. No purchase is warranted.

Final check — "What aspects of Keryx contribution weights for creator payou…": 90% assessed by S1

Final check — "What does the available evidence actually show about how Ker…": 90% assessed by S1

Final coverage assessment — S1 directly addresses both sub-claims: it identifies the common misunderstanding that a model-proposed contribution weight chooses the recipient or changes payout authority, and states that Keryx resolves weights and allocates the citation pool only among ledger-accepted sources using integer micro-USDC, while creator payment calls use the source's authoritative payment terms. S2 is about stablecoin payouts for global workers and does not address Keryx contribution weights or creator payouts.
