  • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'From Island Southeast Asia, S. officinarum was spread eastward into Polynesia and Micronesia by Austronesian voyagers as a canoe plant by around 1500 BC.' The subject, predicate, object, and time frame all match the text exactly.
  • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. Viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage states this as fact). Stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage presents this as established history. Sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's neutral reporting. Time qualifier 'around 1500 BC' matches the passage exactly ('by around 1500 BC'). Context is appropriately empty as the passage provides no restrictive sense or role qualifier. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim about Austronesian voyagers spreading S. officinarum eastward into Polynesia and Micronesia.
