Sub-claim "The article reveals trends in the payment methods used for A…": 0% covered
Sub-claim "The article shows that AI spending has an impact on overall …": 0% covered
None of the gathered sources discuss an article or report titled 'What Link data tells us about AI spending' nor do they reference payment data from a company called 'Link' to quantify AI spending. The sources are about general agentic payment infrastructure (x402, stablecoins, micropayments) and Stripe's products. The question appears to refer to a specific, external article that is not present in the provided text. Therefore, the gathered sources do not cover any of the sub-claims.

Sub-claim "The article reveals trends in the payment methods used for A…": 0% covered
Sub-claim "The article shows that AI spending has an impact on overall …": 0% covered
None of the gathered sources mention 'Link' or present data specifically about AI spending. The sources discuss agent payment rails, stablecoins, nanopayments, and Stripe's agent integrations, but they do not quantify AI spending using Link data, reveal trends in payment methods for AI purchases from such data, or show impacts on overall payment volumes. Therefore, none of the subclaims are supported.
Sub-claim "The article uses Link's payment data to quantify AI spending…": 0% covered — No gathered source references Link payment data or quantifies AI spending from such data. Sources discuss x402, stablecoins, nanopayments, and Stripe agentic commerce, but none use a Link dataset.
Sub-claim "The article reveals trends in the payment methods used for A…": 40% covered by S1, S2, S3, S4 — Gathered content describes emerging AI-agent payment methods such as x402, stablecoins, nanopayments, and Stripe's agentic commerce. However, these are independent technical discussions rather than an analysis of Link's data, so support is partial.
Sub-claim "The article shows that AI spending has an impact on overall …": 10% covered by S4 — Stripe Blog mentions agents transforming commerce but provides no data or evidence about overall payment volumes. No source quantifies the volume impact.
Coverage is below 0.5 for all claims. Simon Willison's Weblog (0.003) is the most likely affordable source to discuss or link to the original 'Link data' article on AI spending; Web Payments Review (0.002) adds relevant payment-method and settlement context. Combined cost 0.005 fits the remaining budget.
