  judge verdicts (2)

  • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'Statistics compiled in 1909 show that the colony then had sixteen sugar factories, which turned out 52,972 tons of sugar, and the recovery represented 8.74 per cent of the weight of the cane; 451,801 tons of this cane were grown by the estates.' The subject, predicate, and object match the passage exactly without rewording or outside knowledge.
  • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself reports statistics). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. Sentiment is neutral, matching the factual, statistical tone. The time qualifier correctly specifies 1909, which is when the statistics were compiled. Context is appropriately empty as the passage provides no restrictive context. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about estate cane production.
