coffee cultivation spread gradually to neighboring districts Mysore
assertsneutralsource: coffee-pg28500
from there the cultivation of coffee gradually spread to neighboring districts
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage directly states that coffee cultivation 'gradually spread to neighboring districts' from Baba Budan in Mysore. The claim accurately captures this statement with minor rewording, though the phrasing 'spread gradually to neighboring districts from Mysore' slightly reorders the original text's meaning while remaining faithful to what is explicitly stated.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (not a named source). The stance appropriately reflects 'asserts' as the passage presents this as factual tradition. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's matter-of-fact tone. The time qualifiers are correctly null, as the passage does not specify when this gradual spread occurred beyond the general seventeenth-century timeframe. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a particular sense or role. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about cultivation spreading from Mysore to neighboring districts.
coffee cultivation was extended to hills and achieved better success Mysore ⟨southern India⟩
assertspositivesource: coffee-pg28500
the cultivation was extended to the hills in southern India, especially in Mysore, where better success was achieved
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The text explicitly states 'the cultivation was extended to the hills in southern India, especially in Mysore, where better success was achieved,' which matches the claim's core assertion that coffee cultivation was extended to hills in Mysore with better success.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage is written in third-person expository style without attribution to a named source). The stance 'asserts' matches the declarative nature of the statement. The sentiment 'positive' is appropriate given the passage frames the hills extension as achieving 'better success' compared to the plains. The time qualifiers are correctly set to null, as the passage provides no specific date for this cultivation extension. The context 'southern India' accurately reflects the passage's restriction to that region. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim.
coffee cultivation has labor cost that is almost prohibitive in australia labor cost
assertsnegativesource: coffee-pg28500
For coffee cultivation the labor cost is almost prohibitive
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly and explicitly stated in the passage with the exact quote provided: 'For coffee cultivation the labor cost is almost prohibitive.' The passage clearly asserts this as a negative factor affecting coffee cultivation in Australia.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself states this without attribution to a named source). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the passage's straightforward statement. The sentiment is negative, which aligns with the phrase 'almost prohibitive' carrying a negative connotation about labor costs. The time qualifiers are appropriately null since the passage provides no specific temporal scope for this statement. The context is correctly empty as the passage does not restrict this claim to a particular sense or role. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about prohibitive labor costs in Australian coffee cultivation.
coffee cultivation was never of much importance French Guiana ⟨French Guiana⟩
assertsneutralsource: coffee-pg28500
Coffee cultivation was never of much importance
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact phrase 'Coffee cultivation was never of much importance' appears verbatim in the text, making this claim fully grounded in the source material.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.30 fail — Multiple qualifier errors: (1) STANCE is incorrect - the passage states "Coffee cultivation was never of much importance," which is a straightforward assertion, not a dispute or question. The stance should be null or "asserts" rather than "disputes". (2) PREDICATE is inverted - the claim states "was of much importance" but the passage says "was never of much importance," reversing the meaning. While the quote is verbatim, the claim's predicate contradicts what the passage actually states about coffee cultivation. The viewpoint (author), sentiment (neutral), time (null), context (French Guiana), and quote are correct.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage with the exact phrase 'Coffee cultivation was never of much importance' appearing verbatim. This is fully supported without any rewording or interpretation needed.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The quote appears verbatim and supports the claim. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself makes this assertion). The stance is accurately marked as 'asserts' since the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is appropriately neutral for a factual economic statement. The time qualifier is correctly set to null since the passage does not specify a particular temporal scope for this assessment, only provides historical data points. The context appropriately identifies French Guiana as the subject location. No qualifier corrections are needed.
coffee cultivation has been chief agricultural pursuit in Brazil for many years
assertsneutralsource: coffee-pg28500
Coffee cultivation has been the chief agricultural pursuit in that country for many years
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage with identical wording: 'Coffee cultivation has been the chief agricultural pursuit in that country for many years.' The passage explicitly supports the subject-predicate-object relationship and the temporal qualifier without requiring any outside knowledge or 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 quoting a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the objective tone of the passage. The temporal qualifier 'for many years' matches the passage exactly. The context is appropriately empty as no specific sense or role restriction is given. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim.
coffee cultivation is introduced into Salvador 1852 ⟨from Cuba⟩
assertsneutralsource: coffee-pg28500
Coffee cultivation is introduced into Salvador from Cuba
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact sentence 'Coffee cultivation is introduced into Salvador from Cuba' appears verbatim in the 1852 entry, matching all elements of the subject-predicate-object structure and temporal specification.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly identified as 'author' (the passage itself makes the assertion without attribution to a named source). The stance 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment 'neutral' matches the factual, non-evaluative tone. The time '1852' matches exactly. The context 'from Cuba' accurately reflects the restrictive qualifier in the passage. The quote is verbatim and fully supports the claim.
Nederlandsch-Indische maatschappij van nijwerheid en landbouw published guidance on coffee cultivation 1873
assertsneutralsource: coffee-pg28500
NEDERLANDSCH-INDISCHE maatschappij van nijwerheid en landbouw. Handleiding voor de gouvernements-koffiekultuur. _Batavia_, 1873.
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The bibliographic entry explicitly lists 'Nederlandsch-Indische maatschappij van nijwerheid en landbouw' as the author of 'Handleiding voor de gouvernements-koffiekultuur' (Handbook for government coffee cultivation) published in Batavia in 1873, which clearly supports the claim about publishing guidance on coffee cultivation.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.80 pass — Viewpoint is incorrectly set to 'author' when the passage does not attribute this statement to a named author - the viewpoint should be null or 'passage' instead. All other qualifiers are faithful: stance 'asserts' is correct, sentiment 'neutral' matches the factual tone, time '1873' matches the publication date, context empty is appropriate as no specific sense restriction applies, and the quote appears verbatim in the passage and supports the claim.

author

coffee cultivation spread from martinique to Saint-Domingue, Mexico and other Caribbean islands within 50 years of 1720, with Saint-Domingue starting in 1734 ⟨early colonial period, 18th century⟩
assertsneutralsource: history-of-coffee
enabling the spread of coffee cultivation to Saint-Domingue (Haiti), Mexico and other islands of the Caribbean
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage directly states that coffee spread from Martinique to Saint-Domingue, Mexico and other Caribbean islands following the flourishing of seedlings brought there in 1720. The time frame 'after 1770' is supported since the passage indicates Saint-Domingue cultivation began in 1734 and Mexico is implied to be part of this spread after Martinique was established ~50 years post-1720.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.50 fail — Two qualifier issues: (1) TIME - The passage states this spread occurred within 50 years of 1720, placing it around 1770, and then specifically notes Saint-Domingue cultivation 'starting in 1734', which contradicts 'after 1770'. The valid_from should be 1720 or immediately thereafter, not 1770. (2) CONTEXT - The claim lacks necessary context distinguishing this as the early colonial period of coffee spread, whereas the passage later discusses 19th-century cultivation in other contexts with very different social/economic implications. The empty context field conflates different historical periods of coffee cultivation.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says that the flourishing coffee sprouts in Martinique (by 1770, 50 years after 1720) enabled 'the spread of coffee cultivation to Saint-Domingue (Haiti), Mexico and other islands of the Caribbean,' and further confirms that Saint-Domingue saw coffee cultivation starting in 1734.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. Viewpoint: correctly attributed to 'author' as the passage itself makes the assertion without attribution to a named source. Stance: 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage straightforwardly states the spread occurred. Sentiment: 'neutral' matches the passage's factual presentation. Time: the temporal scope is accurate—the passage states 50 years after 1720 (yielding circa 1770) and specifically mentions Saint-Domingue starting in 1734, which aligns with the claim's valid_from and valid_to dates. Context: 'early colonial period, 18th century' appropriately reflects the passage's colonial framing and time period. Quote: appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim's predicate and object. No qualifier conflicts detected.
coffee cultivation did not gather momentum until independence 1822 ⟨in Brazil⟩
assertsneutralsource: history-of-coffee
cultivation did not gather momentum until independence in 1822
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'However, cultivation did not gather momentum until independence in 1822, leading to the clearing of massive tracts of the Atlantic Forest...' This sentence explicitly supports all elements of the claim regarding Brazilian coffee cultivation and the year 1822.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage narrator, not a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the objective tone of the statement. The time qualifier correctly captures 1822 as the year independence occurred and when momentum gathered, with valid_from set to 1822 and valid_to as null (no end point specified). The context 'in Brazil' is accurate and necessary to distinguish this from other coffee cultivation discussed. The quote is verbatim from the passage: 'cultivation did not gather momentum until independence in 1822' and directly supports the claim about coffee cultivation in Brazil.
coffee cultivation was taken up in many countries in latter half of 19th century latter half of 19th century
assertsneutralsource: history-of-coffee
Cultivation was taken up by many countries in the latter half of the 19th century
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'Cultivation was taken up by many countries in the latter half of the 19th century' appears verbatim as the opening sentence of the paragraph discussing 19th-century coffee cultivation. No rewording or interpretation is needed.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author. The stance is appropriately marked as 'asserts' since the passage states this as fact without dispute. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's straightforward tone. The time qualifier accurately captures 'latter half of 19th century' with normalized dates 1850-1900 that are consistent with the temporal scope. The context is appropriately empty since the passage provides no restrictive context. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
coffee cultivation involved in almost all countries large-scale displacement and exploitation of indigenous people latter half of 19th century
assertsnegativesource: history-of-coffee
in almost all of them it involved the large-scale displacement and exploitation of indigenous people
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'Cultivation was taken up by many countries in the latter half of the 19th century, and in almost all of them it involved the large-scale displacement and exploitation of indigenous people.' The subject, predicate, and object all match the passage without requiring outside knowledge or over-generalization.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The viewpoint 'author' is correct - the passage presents this as authorial assertion, not attributed to a named source. The stance 'asserts' and sentiment 'negative' are both appropriate. The time qualifier (latter half of 19th century, valid_from: 1850, valid_to: 1900) matches the passage's temporal scope. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim. The context is correctly empty as the passage does not restrict this to a specific sense. Minor deduction: the quote ends mid-sentence ('of them' referring back to 'countries'), which is acceptable but slightly less clean than it could be, though it does not misrepresent the passage's meaning.
coffee cultivation extended south to Kodagu
assertsneutralsource: history-of-coffee
extending south to Kodagu
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage, which explicitly states that Baba Budan 'planted these beans in the Chandragiri hills of Karnataka, which are now named Baba Budan Giri in his honor. This act marked the beginning of coffee cultivation in India, extending south to Kodagu.' The exact phrase 'extending south to Kodagu' appears in the passage.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — The claim has two qualifier issues: (1) VIEWPOINT: The passage does not attribute this statement to a named source - it is the author's synthesis. Using 'author' is appropriate here, so this is actually correct. However, the main issue is: (2) TIME: The passage states the quote 'extending south to Kodagu' immediately follows discussion of Baba Budan planting beans in the 17th century, but the passage does not explicitly state WHEN this extension to Kodagu occurred. The claim assumes 17th century timing, but the passage only confirms 17th century for the initial planting in Chandragiri hills. The extension to Kodagu is mentioned without a specific temporal marker, making the 'when' and normalized dates unfaithful to what the passage actually states.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'He planted these beans in the Chandragiri hills of Karnataka, which are now named Baba Budan Giri in his honor. This act marked the beginning of coffee cultivation in India, extending south to Kodagu.' The exact phrase 'extending south to Kodagu' appears verbatim in the source material.
- 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 narration). The stance 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's tone. The time qualifiers are correctly null since the passage does not specify when this extension occurred. The context is appropriately empty as no specific sense or role restriction is needed. The quote 'extending south to Kodagu' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about coffee cultivation extending south to Kodagu.

Australian Year Book

Queensland is the one state in which coffee experiments have been tried coffee cultivation 1921
assertsneutralsource: coffee-pg28500
Queensland is the one state in which experiments have been tried
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly quotes that 'Queensland is the one state in which experiments have been tried,' and attributes this information to the Australian Year Book for 1921, matching both the substance and perspective of the claim.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The viewpoint, stance, sentiment, and quote are all accurate. However, there is a minor temporal issue: the passage attributes this statement to the 'Australian Year Book for 1921' as the source, but the claim's 'when' field shows '1921' without clarifying this is the publication date of the source, not necessarily when the experiments occurred. The context is appropriately empty since no specific sense restriction is needed. Overall, the claim correctly identifies Queensland and the nature of the experiments with proper attribution.

Rouille de Jour

colonies, France, and commerce are indebted to de clieu for coffee cultivation 1746
assertspositivesource: coffee-pg28500
a distinguished officer to whom the colonies, as well as France itself, and commerce generally, are indebted for the cultivation of coffee
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The claim is substantially supported by the passage, which directly quotes Rouille de Jour presenting de Clieu to Louis XV as 'a distinguished officer to whom the colonies, as well as France itself, and commerce generally, are indebted for the cultivation of coffee.' However, the subject-predicate-object structure inverts the original meaning: the passage states the colonies/France/commerce are indebted TO de Clieu, not that de Clieu is indebted to them, making this a minor rewording issue.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.30 fail — The claim reverses the direction of the predicate. The passage states that the colonies, France, and commerce are indebted TO de Clieu FOR the cultivation of coffee - meaning de Clieu is owed gratitude. The claim incorrectly states that de Clieu 'is indebted to' these entities, which inverts the relationship. The quote is accurate and the viewpoint (Rouille de Jour), stance (asserts), and sentiment (positive) are faithful, but the core predicate direction is wrong.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact quote attributed to Rouille de Jour's presentation of de Clieu to Louis XV in 1746 contains the precise language describing colonies, France, and commerce being indebted to de Clieu for coffee cultivation.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to Rouille de Jour (the minister of marine who presented de Clieu to Louis XV). The stance 'asserts' accurately reflects the positive attribution in the passage. The sentiment is positive, matching the laudatory tone ('distinguished officer,' 'indebted for'). The time qualifier correctly identifies 1746 as when this statement was made. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim. The empty context is appropriate as the passage does not restrict the claim to any particular sense or role.
