judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The opening sentence explicitly states that 'the first wholesale coffee-roasting plant in America began operations at 4 Great Dock (now Pearl) Street, New York, early in 1790,' which exactly matches the claim's subject, predicate, object, time, and context.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as historical fact without attribution to a named source). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the declarative framing. Sentiment is neutral, appropriate for factual historical reporting. The time qualifier 'early in 1790' with valid_from '1790' accurately reflects the passage's temporal scope, with valid_to correctly null since no end date is specified. Context correctly identifies this as 'first wholesale in America' matching the passage's explicit framing. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim.
