judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'in 1859 they amounted to 11,690,000 pounds.' The subject (British India), predicate (exported coffee), object (11,690,000 pounds), and time (1859) are all explicitly supported by the text.
- 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 figure). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage presents this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's straightforward reporting. The time qualifier correctly specifies 1859 with valid_from and null valid_to, consistent with the passage's temporal scope. The context is appropriately empty as the passage provides no specific contextual restriction. The quote 'in 1859 they amounted to 11,690,000 pounds' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
by 1864 they had doubled, rising in that year to 26,745,000 pounds
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'by 1864 they had doubled, rising in that year to 26,745,000 pounds.' The subject (British India), predicate (exported coffee), object (26,745,000 pounds), and time (1864) are all explicitly supported by the text.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as factual historical information). The stance 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage states this definitively. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifier 'when: 1864' accurately reflects the specific year mentioned ('in that year'). The context is appropriately empty as no special sense or restriction applies. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim about the 26,745,000 pounds exported in 1864.
They have continued at between 20,000,000 and 60,000,000 pounds ever since
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage, which states 'They have continued at between 20,000,000 and 60,000,000 pounds ever since' immediately following the mention of 1864 when exports had doubled to 26,745,000 pounds, establishing the timeframe and export quantity range as claimed.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote is verbatim and accurately supports the claim. The perspective (author asserting), stance (asserts), and sentiment (neutral) are all appropriate and faithful. However, there is a minor issue with the time qualifier: the passage states 'They have continued at between 20,000,000 and 60,000,000 pounds ever since' immediately after mentioning 1864, which means the range began in/after 1864 and continued through 1872 and beyond. The claim's time range of 'after 1864 to 1872' is slightly restrictive, as the passage indicates this range continued 'ever since' 1864, not just until 1872. The valid_to date of 1872 doesn't fully capture the passage's indication of continuation beyond that year. A more faithful representation would either extend valid_to further or note that the range persisted beyond 1872 (the passage only specifies that 1872 was the 'highest point'). Despite this minor temporal imprecision, the core claim remains substantially faithful to the passage.
reaching their highest point in 1872 with 56,817,000 pounds
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'reaching their highest point in 1872 with 56,817,000 pounds.' All details—subject, predicate, object, and time—are explicitly supported by the source text without requiring outside knowledge.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as factual information without attribution to a named source). The stance is properly marked as 'asserts' since the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time is correctly specified as 1872 with valid_from matching the year mentioned. The context accurately reflects 'highest point' as stated in the passage. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim about the 56,817,000 pounds export figure.
a contraction in British India
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'Within the last two decades there has been an expansion of the production areas in South America, Africa, and in southeastern Asia; and a contraction in British India and the Netherlands Indies.' The subject, predicate, object, and time period all match the passage exactly.
- 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 without attributing it to a named source). The stance 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment 'neutral' matches the passage's matter-of-fact tone. The time qualifier 'within the last two decades' is directly supported by the passage's statement 'Within the last two decades there has been...a contraction in British India.' The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a specific sense or role. The quote 'a contraction in British India' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
