are used at present in medicine, particularly in veterinary practice
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'They are used at present in medicine, particularly in veterinary practice.' The passage explicitly confirms that cardamom seeds are used in medicine, with the specific context of veterinary practice mentioned as the primary application.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is highly faithful to the passage. Viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all correct. The time qualifier is appropriately null since the passage does not specify a temporal range, though it does use 'at present' which indicates current usage rather than historical. The context correctly identifies veterinary practice as the particular application. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. Minor deduction: the quote includes 'at present' which provides temporal indication in the passage, though the time object is correctly left null per instructions to use null when passage gives no explicit temporal scope. The quote accurately reflects the passage's neutral presentation of this use.

Minor deduction (0.05) only for the quote including "factitious" which adds a qualifier (artificial/manufactured) not explicitly captured in the claim's object specification, though this is a very minor semantic nuance and the core meaning is faithfully represented.
