    judge verdicts (2)
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly mentions 'the first failure was announced--that of C. Risley & Co., with liabilities placed at $800,000 and assets at $400,000.' The subject, predicate, and object all match the passage without rewording or outside knowledge.
    • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint correctly attributes the statement to the author (reporting what was announced). The stance 'asserts' appropriately reflects the straightforward presentation. The sentiment is neutral, matching the factual tone. The time 'October 1880' aligns with the passage's reference to 'October, 1880' and the specific date 'the 27th of that month.' The context is appropriately empty as the passage provides no restrictive context. The quote 'liabilities placed at $800,000' appears verbatim in the passage and accurately supports the claim.
  • C. Risley & Co. had assets of $400,000 October 1880

    • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is appropriately attributed to the author (the passage reports these figures as historical fact). The stance is correctly marked as 'asserts' - the passage presents this as a straightforward statement. The sentiment is neutral, which matches the factual reporting tone. The time is accurately set to October 1880, when C. Risley & Co.'s failure was announced on the 27th. The context is empty, which is appropriate as the passage provides no restrictive context.

    judge verdicts (2)
