judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The quote explicitly shows that the Tariff act of March 2, 1861 (effective April 1, 1861) imposed ¾c per pound on raw sugar, and the time period specified (April 1, 1861 to August 5, 1861) is accurate based on when the next tariff act took effect.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint 'author' is appropriate as the passage presents this information directly without attribution to a named source. The stance 'asserts' correctly reflects the factual presentation in the passage. The sentiment 'neutral' matches the neutral, informational tone of the tariff listing. The time qualifiers are accurate: the claim correctly identifies April 1, 1861 as the effective date and August 5, 1861 as the end date (when the next tariff act took effect), with normalized dates consistent with the 'when' field. The context is appropriately empty as the passage provides no additional sense restrictions beyond the basic claim about raw sugar tariffs. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about the ¾c per pound tariff on raw sugar.
