  judge verdicts (2)

  • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says 'In England, mace, though well known, was a very costly article, its value between 1284 and 1377 being about 4s 7d per lb.' The subject, predicate, object, time period, and context all match the passage exactly.
  • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself states the historical fact). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage presents this as factual information. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's neutral, historical tone. The time qualifiers (1284-1377) match exactly what the passage specifies. The context 'in England' is explicitly stated in the passage. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about mace's valuation.
