Their usefulness, save in exceptional cases, is ended in about thirty years
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'Their usefulness, save in exceptional cases, is ended in about thirty years.' The subject, predicate, and object are all explicitly present with the same qualifier ('save in exceptional cases') and timeframe ('about thirty years').
- qualifier_fidelity 0.65 fail — The 'time' qualifier is unfaithful. The passage states usefulness 'is ended in about thirty years' (a temporal duration/lifespan, not a specific point in time), but the claim's time object incorrectly represents this as 'when: about thirty years' with valid_from and valid_to both set to '30'. This conflates the duration of the tree's usefulness with a temporal anchor. The time qualifier should either be null (since the passage gives no calendar date) or should clarify that '30 years' refers to the lifespan duration, not a temporal point. The viewpoint, stance, sentiment, context, and quote are all faithful to the passage.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage with the exact quote provided: 'Their usefulness, save in exceptional cases, is ended in about thirty years.' All elements including the subject, predicate, object, and the contextual qualifier 'save in exceptional cases' are explicitly present.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (not a named source). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the declarative statement in the passage. The sentiment is neutral, appropriate for factual information. The time qualifiers are null as the passage provides no temporal context. The context 'save in exceptional cases' is accurately extracted from the passage and reflects the qualifier present in the original statement. The quote is verbatim and fully supports the claim.
continue to bear for about thirty years
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'continue to bear for about thirty years' appears verbatim when describing the lifespan of coffee trees after reaching full maturity.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage makes a general statement without attributing it to a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. Time qualifiers are correctly null since the passage provides no temporal restriction to this claim about coffee trees' bearing period. Context is appropriately empty as the passage discusses coffee in general without restricting to a specific sense or role. The quote 'continue to bear for about thirty years' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
had been doing business in the local market for about thirty years
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'This firm had been doing business in the local market for about thirty years.' The subject, predicate, and object all match exactly with the source text, with no rewording or outside knowledge required.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (not a named source). The stance is properly 'asserts' - a straightforward factual statement. Sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's tone. The time qualifier correctly reflects that the thirty-year period preceded 1880 (the firm's failure). Context accurately specifies 'local market' as stated in the passage. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim. No deductions warranted.
