    judge verdicts (4)
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The first sentence explicitly notes that coffee costing 13.50 per 100 pounds 'must bring 16.27' to realize 17% on sales, which is the exact assertion in the claim.
    • qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — The claim has multiple qualifier fidelity issues: (1) VIEWPOINT - the passage frames this as a mathematical example, not attributed to the author making an assertion. The opening phrase 'NOTE, FOR EXAMPLE:' indicates this is illustrative content following an implicit calculation or reference. The claim should reflect this is an example calculation rather than author assertion. (2) The quote provided is incomplete and lacks proper context - it omits the critical opening condition about coffee costing 13.50 per 100 pounds, which is essential to understanding what 'must bring 16.27' means. The full operative quote should start from 'Coffee costing 13.50 per 100 pounds' to properly support this claim. (3) CONTEXT - while the claim does include context ('to realize 17% on sales'), it omits the comparison context that this represents '21% on cost', which is semantically important to the passage's point about profit margins.
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The exact statement appears as a direct quote in the opening NOTE, providing a specific pricing example where coffee at $13.50 per 100 pounds must bring $16.27 to achieve 17% profit on sales, which equates to 21% profit on cost.
    • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint correctly identifies this as an 'example calculation' rather than attributing it to a named source. The stance 'asserts' matches the passage's straightforward presentation of the mathematical example. The sentiment is appropriately neutral for a technical/financial calculation. The time qualifiers are correctly null since the passage provides no temporal scope. The context appropriately describes this as an 'illustrative pricing example comparing profit margins on sales vs. cost,' which matches the passage's framing in the note. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim about the pricing relationship and profit margin equivalency.
