Under the name of "Maw seeds," they are sold as food for birds during moulting season
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact quote provided ('Under the name of "Maw seeds," they are sold as food for birds during moulting season') explicitly supports all elements of the claim: that maw seeds (poppy seeds under this name) are sold as food for birds, specifically during the moulting season.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — Nearly all qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. Viewpoint, stance, sentiment, and time are all appropriate. However, the 'context' field should be empty or null rather than "moulting season" - context qualifiers should describe the sense or role of the subject (e.g., maw seeds as bird food), not the temporal constraint, which is already captured in the 'time' field. This is a minor issue that does not significantly impact the overall fidelity.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'it is also used as a perfume and is given to birds during the moulting season.' The subject, predicate, object, and temporal qualifier are all explicitly present 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 (no named source is specified in the passage). The stance 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage states this as fact without dispute. The sentiment 'neutral' matches the passage's neutral tone. The time qualifier 'during the moulting season' is accurate and properly reflects the temporal scope provided in the passage. The context is appropriately empty as the passage provides none. The quote 'is given to birds during the moulting season' 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: 'the birds are permitted a monopoly of the pulp as a food.' The exact wording matches the source material 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 statement, not a named source). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the declarative nature of the passage. The sentiment is neutral, appropriate for a factual agricultural text. The time qualifiers are all null, which is correct as the passage provides no specific temporal scope for this claim. The context 'as food' accurately reflects the passage's restriction of the claim to the pulp's use as food. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.

The sweet and mild kinds fed to birds are said to improve their plumage
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The sweet and mild kinds fed to birds are said to improve their plumage.' The subject, predicate, and object all match the source text precisely, including the epistemic qualification 'are said to,' which is appropriately captured in the perspective indicating the author asserts this claim.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — VIEWPOINT is unfaithful: the passage states 'are said to improve' which indicates hearsay/attributed claim, not direct authorial assertion. The viewpoint should be 'hearsay' or 'attributed' rather than 'author', and stance should reflect 'reports' or 'claims' rather than 'asserts'. SENTIMENT is also questionable as the passage frames this as an unverified claim ('said to'), not a straightforward positive assertion. The quote is accurate and verbatim, time and context qualifiers are appropriate.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The sweet and mild kinds fed to birds are said to improve their plumage.' The phrasing matches the source material precisely, including the hedging language ('are said to') that indicates this is reported information rather than a direct assertion.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint 'hearsay' correctly captures the passage's 'are said to' framing, indicating reported information rather than direct assertion. The stance 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage presents this as a claim without disputing it. The sentiment 'neutral' matches the passage's neutral tone. Time qualifiers are correctly null as no temporal information is provided. The context 'when fed to birds' accurately reflects the passage's restriction of the claim to this specific usage scenario. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports all elements of the claim.
