  judge verdicts (2)

  • groundedness 0.70 pass — The claim is supported by the passage. The text explicitly states 'Foreigners pay always Fifteen,' referring to the duty for entry of foreign cacao kernels, which aligns with the claim's subject, predicate, and object. Minor rewording from 'Foreigners pay always Fifteen' to 'foreign sources pay duty of Fifteen pence' accounts for the 0.7 score rather than a perfect 1.0.
  • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint correctly attributes the statement to the author (not a named source), the stance is accurately 'asserts' as a factual statement, the sentiment is appropriately neutral for a regulatory duty statement, the time is correctly null since the passage provides no specific temporal scope for this duty (only mentioning a regulation from April 1717 as context for comparing duties), the context is empty as appropriate, and the quote 'Foreigners pay always Fifteen' appears verbatim and directly supports the claim about foreign cacao kernel duties.
