  judge verdicts (2)

  • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly reports that four years after starting the first store (around 1920), there were fifty specialty stores 'doing an annual business of about $600,000,' which directly matches the subject, predicate, and object of the claim.
  • qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint correctly uses 'author' as the passage provides this information without attribution to a named source. The stance 'asserts' is appropriate. The sentiment 'positive' accurately reflects the passage's positive framing of the chain's success ('almost instant success'). The time qualifiers are faithful: 'when' correctly references 'four years after starting first store', and valid_from '1920' is correct (1916 + 4 years). The context 'four years after starting' accurately reflects the temporal scope. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. Minor note: valid_to is appropriately null as the passage provides no end date for this business figure.
