The house had cost $43,000.
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The house had cost $43,000.' The exact subject, predicate, and object match the text without any rewording or inference required.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.50 fail — The time qualifier is unfaithful. The passage states the cornerstone was laid June 5, 1792, and the banquet celebrating completion occurred 'a year later to the day' (June 5, 1793). The house had already cost $43,000 by completion in 1793, so valid_from and valid_to should both be '1793' or earlier, not '1793' to '1793' which implies only that single year. The claim's time period is too narrow and doesn't accurately reflect when the cost was incurred (during construction 1792-1793). Additionally, the context is empty when it should specify this refers to the building/structure, not merely the organization or concept.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The final sentence explicitly states 'The house had cost $43,000,' providing exact correspondence between the claim's subject, predicate, and object without requiring outside knowledge or over-generalization.
- 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 a fact from the narrative, not quoting a named source). The stance is properly 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the matter-of-fact tone. The time frame 'by 1793' and the valid_from/valid_to dates (1792-1793) correctly reflect that the cornerstone was laid June 5, 1792 and the banquet celebrating completion occurred a year later (June 5, 1793). The context 'construction' is appropriate as the passage discusses the building of the coffee house. The quote appears verbatim and directly supports the claim about the cost.
