> ⚠ Low confidence — 2 sub-claims remain below the evidence threshold within budget. Treat this as provisional.

The supplied first-party note does not state any specific Keryx contribution weights for creator payouts. What it does establish is that the buyer client's all-in price ceiling includes both the service fee and the creator budget , and that the completed job must match the original package, creator cap, paid total and request . It also establishes that creator amounts can be settled, pending or unknown, and that the client must not silently turn missing accounting into zero .

What remains uncertain is the actual weighting scheme: the passages provided do not describe how creator payouts are weighted or calculated, nor do they give any numeric or formulaic contribution weights. The note only indicates that creator amounts may be in a settled, pending or unknown state , and that unused creator reserve under the fixed-price package is not an automatic refund . No source passage answers the specific question of contribution weights, so that part is unanswered.

Reused cached Keryx Engineering (first-party) — Recovering a Keryx paid research job (free) — S1

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "What does Keryx Engineering (first-party) establish about Ke…": 10% covered by S1 — S1 (Keryx Engineering first-party) discusses creator budget, creator cap, and creator reserve in the context of a paid research job, but it never addresses 'contribution weights' for creator payouts. It provides only topical context (creator amounts can be settled, pending, or unknown; unused creator reserve is not an automatic refund), not an answer about contribution weights.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "What remains uncertain about Keryx contribution weights for …": 10% covered by S1 — S1 notes uncertainty around creator amounts (settled/pending/unknown) and that missing accounting must not be silently zeroed, but it says nothing about uncertainty specifically regarding contribution weights. Only tangential context is supplied.

Re-evaluate

Both sub-claims about Keryx contribution weights for creator payouts are essentially uncovered (0.1 each, topical context only). However, none of the affordable skipped sources (all ≤ $0.005, within the $0.015 budget) relate to Keryx contribution weights — they cover stablecoins, x402, nanopayments, idempotency, gardening, console repair, AI agents, crypto regulation, etc. No skipped source could fill this gap, so buying is not recommended. The gap would require additional Keryx first-party documentation (e.g., the referenced buyer-agent.md or research-package.ts), which is not among the purchasable options.

Sufficiency

Final check — "What does Keryx Engineering (first-party) establish about Ke…": 0% assessed

Sufficiency

Final check — "What remains uncertain about Keryx contribution weights for …": 20% assessed by S1

Sufficiency

Final coverage assessment — The supplied first-party Keryx Engineering note covers buyer-side recovery, payment evidence, creator caps, and settlement states, but it does not establish any contribution-weight scheme for creator payouts. It only says creator amounts can be settled, pending, or unknown and that missing accounting must not be silently treated as zero. Therefore the first sub-claim is not answered, and the second sub-claim is only partially addressed by the note's general uncertainty about creator accounting, not by any stated uncertainty about contribution weights. The assessment does not establish a complete supported answer for every requested part.
