Re-evaluate

All sub-claims are fully covered by S3, with no gaps. The gathered source provides direct, explicit support for each claim about per-citation payments weighted by contribution and their implications for batching. No additional purchases are needed, as coverage is already adequate.

Sufficiency

Final coverage assessment — The gathered sources do not provide sufficient information to answer the question. The question asks about what the phrase 'Per-citation payments weighted by contribution' reveals about batching. However, the sources only contain one relevant snippet (S3) that describes a fair payment model based on contribution weight. This snippet does not mention batching at all. Therefore, we cannot establish any relationship between weighted per-citation payments and batching. We need sources that explicitly discuss how this payment model interacts with or applies to batching processes.

> ⚠ Low confidence — 3 sub-claims remain below the evidence threshold within budget. Treat this as provisional.

The approach of per-citation payments weighted by contribution reveals that batching distributes rewards non-uniformly among contributors based on the level of contribution . Specifically, it indicates a system where batching recognizes and rewards differential impact rather than equal splits, as heavily-relied-upon sources earn more while lightly-used ones earn less . This ties payment directly to the value each contributor adds to the batched work, making granular settlement practical through weighted nanopayments .
