  judge verdicts (2)

  • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'while in England 1 lb. 12 oz. was used,' indicating that England consumed coffee at a rate of 1 lb. 12 oz.
  • qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage except for the 'time' qualifier, which should be specified as the period when England consumed coffee at the rate of 1 lb. 12 oz., i.e., after the duty reductions mentioned (post-1824). The absence of a specific time in the claim is acceptable because the passage implies this consumption level continued up to 1850 without further temporal detail, but noting the post‑duty reduction era would improve precision.
