Sub-claim "What does "Per-citation payments weighted by contribution" m…": 60% covered by S1 — S1 directly explains the concept: each cited source is paid in proportion to its contribution, heavily-relied-upon sources earn more, lightly-used earn less, and multi-author works can split a single reward. This answers the meaning of the payment model. However, it does not explicitly tie the model to Keryx by name, so the Keryx-specific attribution is only implied.

Sub-claim "What does "gas" refer to in the context of Keryx's per-citat…": 0% covered — No supplied passage mentions gas at all. S1 discusses weighted nanopayments and granular settlement but never defines or references gas. S2 discusses x402 settlement latency on Arc but does not mention gas either. The term 'gas' is entirely unaddressed.

Sub-claim "What does "Per-citation payments weighted by contribution" r…": 0% covered — The supplied passages provide no information connecting per-citation weighted payments to gas. S1 explains the payment weighting model but says nothing about gas; S2 covers settlement latency but not gas and not citation payments. The requested relationship is not answered.

Coverage is adequate for the meaning of per-citation weighted payments (S1), but the gas-related sub-claims are entirely uncovered (0.0). The only affordable skipped source plausibly relevant to Keryx's payment mechanics is the first-party Keryx Engineering piece on recovering a paid research job (price 0.002, within the 0.02 budget). It may clarify Keryx's payment model and potentially gas handling, though its preview focuses on quoting, journaling, and resuming jobs rather than gas specifically. Other skipped sources concern x402 latency, USDC settlement, idempotency, or unrelated topics and are unlikely to address gas in Keryx citation payments, so they are not recommended.

Final coverage assessment — The supplied passages do not explain what 'Per-citation payments weighted by contribution' means in Keryx's citation payment model, do not define 'gas' in that context, and therefore do not reveal anything about gas. S1 only gives a generic fair-payment description without naming Keryx or gas. S2 discusses Arc/x402 settlement latency, not Keryx per-citation payments or gas. S3 covers Keryx buyer recovery and payment mechanics but never mentions per-citation payments, contribution weighting, or gas. The assessment does not establish a complete supported answer for every requested part.

Verified — S1 supports claim 1 at 70%: “A fair model pays each cited source in proportion to its contribution to the final answer.”
