    judge verdicts (2)
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage, which explicitly states 'While only 245,000 kilograms were freighted by the Railway' when discussing the Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway's role in exporting Ethiopian coffee.
    • qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is faithful to the passage. The quote appears verbatim and accurately supports the assertion that the railway freighted coffee. The viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all appropriate. The time qualifier 'initially' is well-inferred from the passage's temporal narrative (starting with small amounts and increasing), though the passage itself does not explicitly use the word 'initially'—it contextualizes these numbers as part of a historical progression. The context is appropriately empty since the passage does not restrict coffee to a particular sense. Minor deduction only for slight interpretive liberty with 'initially' rather than being explicitly stated in the passage.
  • Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway freighted coffee coffee 1908–1936 ⟨Ethiopian coffee exports⟩
    assertsneutralsource: history-of-coffee
    Coffee plantations were also developed in Arsi Province at the same time and were eventually exported by means of the Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway. While only 245,000 kilograms were freighted by the Railway, this amount jumped to 2,240,000 kilograms by 1922, surpassed exports of "Harari" coffee by 1925, and reached 9,260,000 kilograms in 1936.
    judge verdicts (4)
    • groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage directly states that coffee was exported from Arsi Province via the Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway and that 9,260,000 kilograms were freighted by the Railway in 1936. The claim accurately captures this information with only minor rewording from the source text.
    • qualifier_fidelity 0.50 fail — Multiple qualifier issues: (1) TIME - the claim restricts to 1936 only, but the passage discusses the railway freighting coffee across multiple years (1908-1936), with 9,260,000 kilograms being the 1936 figure. The time qualifier should reflect the broader period or be more precisely framed. (2) QUOTE - the quote provided ('reached 9,260,000 kilograms in 1936') supports the 1936 endpoint but does not directly state that the railway 'freighted coffee' - the passage says this amount 'passed through that port' and was 'freighted by the Railway,' but the quote alone doesn't capture the freighting action. (3) CONTEXT - given that the passage specifically discusses coffee exports and quantities, some context identifying this as relating to Ethiopian coffee exports would improve fidelity.
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly states that coffee plantations in Arsi Province 'were eventually exported by means of the Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway' and provides specific quantities freighted during the period 1908-1936, confirming that the railway transported (freighted) coffee during this timeframe.
    • qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim's qualifiers are nearly all faithful to the passage. Viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all appropriate (author asserts neutrally). The context correctly specifies Ethiopian coffee exports. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. However, the time range requires a minor note: the passage does not explicitly state when the Railway began freighting coffee, only that plantations were developed 'at the same time' as those in other provinces and were 'eventually exported.' The earliest specific data point in the quote is 245,000 kilograms by an unstated year, followed by 2,240,000 kilograms 'by 1922.' The claim's valid_from of 1908 is inferred from the Gambela port data (100,000 kg exported in 1908) rather than explicitly stated for the Railway. A stricter reading would set valid_from to null or to 1922 (the first explicit Railway figure), but the inference is reasonable given the context. This is a minor qualifier fidelity issue that marginally affects the score.
  • Arsi Province coffee was exported by Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway

    and were eventually exported by means of the Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway
    judge verdicts (2)
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'Coffee plantations were also developed in Arsi Province at the same time and were eventually exported by means of the Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway.' The subject, predicate, and object match the passage 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 itself makes this assertion). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the passage's straightforward statement. The sentiment is neutral, appropriate for a factual historical claim. The time qualifiers are correctly set to null since the passage provides no specific dates for this particular export method. The context is empty, which is appropriate as no sense restriction is needed. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim about Arsi Province coffee being exported via the railway.

passage

  • Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway freighted coffee by 1922
    assertsneutralsource: history-of-coffee
    this amount jumped to 2,240,000 kilograms by 1922
    judge verdicts (4)
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage, which explicitly states that the Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway freighted coffee, with the specific detail that 'this amount jumped to 2,240,000 kilograms by 1922.' The claim accurately captures the information without over-generalization or outside knowledge.
    • qualifier_fidelity 0.50 fail — The time qualifier is unfaithful. The passage states 'this amount jumped to 2,240,000 kilograms by 1922' in a progression of exports over time (245,000 kg initially, then 2,240,000 by 1922, then 9,260,000 in 1936). The phrase 'by 1922' indicates a cumulative measure up to that point, not that the amount was exactly 1922. The normalized dates should reflect 'by 1922' rather than setting both valid_from and valid_to to 1922, which misrepresents the temporal scope. The viewpoint should be 'passage' rather than 'author' since this is factual reporting, not attribution to a named speaker.
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly states: 'While only 245,000 kilograms were freighted by the Railway, this amount jumped to 2,240,000 kilograms by 1922,' confirming that the Addis Ababa–Djibouti Railway freighted coffee by 1922.
    • qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is mostly faithful to the passage. The viewpoint, stance, and sentiment qualifiers are correct. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. However, there is a minor issue with the time qualifier: the passage states "this amount jumped to 2,240,000 kilograms by 1922," which means 2,240,000 kilograms was the amount by 1922, not necessarily that freighting occurred "by 1922" in the sense of a deadline or endpoint. The temporal framing is slightly imprecise, though the date itself (1922) is accurate. The context qualifier is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a particular sense or role. Overall, the qualifier fidelity is high with only minor temporal nuance issues.
