We prove new bounds on complete sums of products of k k additively shifted Kloosterman sums to odd high prime power moduli q=pⁿ q = p n , which feature substantially stronger power savings (about q-1/ k/2 q - 1 / ⌈ k / 2 ⌉ in generic configurations) and a novel quantification of the alignment among the shifts. We prove our bounds by developing a method to estimate complete exponential sums with a broad class of phases well-controlled by a specified number of initial terms in a property reflecting p -adic differentiability.
