Sub-claim "Settlement news about gas batching occurs.": 70% covered by S1, S2 — S1 discusses gas batching on Arc testnet with settlement latency. S2 mentions batching micro-authorizations to save gas. However, 'news' is not explicitly covered; the sources are technical rather than news reports.

Sub-claim "Settlement news about gas batching impacts arc hardware upda…": 20% covered — No source directly links settlement news or gas batching to arc hardware updates. S1 discusses Arc testnet but not hardware updates. The claim is mostly unsupported.

Sub-claim "The impact is on arc hardware updates.": 10% covered — No source mentions arc hardware updates at all. The claim is virtually uncovered.

Claims 2 and 3 have low coverage. The most relevant skipped sources are 'Distributed Systems Notes' (covers consensus, updates) and 'Ethereum Foundation Blog' (covers Ethereum updates). Both are affordable within remaining budget. Other sources are either irrelevant (gardening, retro games) or too expensive.
