Beard & Cummings, 1834
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly lists 'Beard & Cummings, 1834' among the coffee-roasting businesses that continued considerably past the half-century mark, clearly indicating that Beard & Cummings dates to 1834.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (implicit in the historical account). The stance is properly 'asserts' as the passage straightforwardly states the date. Sentiment is neutral, matching the factual tone. The time qualifiers are appropriate: 'when' is null (passage provides no temporal framing), 'valid_from' is 1834 (the founding date given), and 'valid_to' is null (no end date specified). Context is empty as appropriate since no specific sense or role restriction is mentioned. The quote 'Beard & Cummings, 1834' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'This business was founded in 1834 on Front Street by Eli Beard (father of Samuel S. Beard,) and W.A. Cummings as Beard & Cummings.' All elements (subject, predicate, object, and time) are explicitly supported.
- 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 facts without attribution to a named source). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the passage's declarative presentation. Sentiment is neutral, appropriate for a factual business history. The time qualifier correctly specifies 1834 with valid_from and null valid_to, matching the passage's statement 'founded in 1834'. Context is empty, which is appropriate as the passage provides no limiting context for this founding. The quote 'founded in 1834 on Front Street' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
