The single gathered source (S1) only mentions eligible investment types (shares, bonds, funds, ETFs, insurance) but does not explicitly state that crypto is prohibited, nor does it provide details on the scheme's scale ($203B), regulatory implications, or impact on retail investors. Therefore, the coverage is insufficient for all sub-claims.

Sub-claim "The Irish state savings scheme has prohibited cryptocurrency…": 30% covered by S1 — S1 only lists qualifying investments (shares, bonds, funds, ETFs, insurance) and does not explicitly state that crypto is prohibited. The article title in the metadata suggests prohibition, but the provided text does not contain that explicit statement.

Sub-claim "The scheme is significant in scale, targeting approximately …": 100% covered by S1 — The source's metadata includes the article title, which directly states the $203 billion figure, aligning with the claim's scale.

Sub-claim "The exclusion of crypto indicates regulatory caution or rest…": 20% covered — No gathered source discusses the regulatory rationale or implications of excluding crypto from state-backed products. The claim is about inference and context not present in the provided text.

Sub-claim "This decision may influence retail investors' access to cryp…": 20% covered — No gathered source addresses the impact on retail investors or access through mainstream channels. The claim is about potential influence, which requires analysis not found in the provided content.

Coverage is below 0.5 for three of four sub-claims (0.3, 0.2, 0.2). The skipped sources list does not contain any sources relevant to the Irish savings scheme, cryptocurrency regulation, or retail investor impact. The sources are primarily about unrelated technical, gardening, gaming, or AI topics. Buying any would not improve coverage for these specific claims, so no purchases are recommended despite the low coverage.

Final check — "The Irish state savings scheme has prohibited cryptocurrency…": 100% assessed by S1

Final check — "The scheme is significant in scale, targeting approximately …": 100% assessed by S1

Final check — "The exclusion of crypto indicates regulatory caution or rest…": 60% assessed by S1

Final coverage assessment — The article from Decrypt directly addresses the core claim about Ireland barring crypto from its state savings scheme and mentions the scheme's scale targeting $203B in deposits. The other two sources (Coinbase and Stripe) are unrelated to the Irish scheme and payments context. However, the primary source provides sufficient information for the first two sub-claims. The third and fourth sub-claims about regulatory caution and influence on retail investors are logical inferences from the article's content but are not explicitly detailed, so their coverage is moderate.
