/claim #18

Summary

• Adds a distinct team payout split ledger for the Scientific Bounty System.
• Allocates accepted milestone funds across team contributors while preserving locked milestones.
• Validates contributor split totals, payout route readiness, institution overhead caps, and minimum direct solver share.
• Includes synthetic challenge packets plus deterministic JSON, Markdown, and SVG payout artifacts.

Non-overlap

This focuses on team/institution payout routing and split receipts, separate from existing arbitration, reviewer workload, benchmark leakage, sponsor access, cancellation, IP redaction, award transparency, and broad scientific bounty modules.

Verification

• node scientific-bounty-system/team-payout-split-ledger/test.js
• node scientific-bounty-system/team-payout-split-ledger/demo.js
• git diff --check

All data is synthetic; no payment credentials, identity records, private tax data, or external services are used.
