Coffee exports, 1850-1920
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The exact phrase 'Coffee exports, 1850-1920' appears as a map/chart title in the document, directly stating that coffee exports are depicted for the time period 1850 to 1920.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The quote 'Coffee exports, 1850-1920' appears verbatim in the Maps, Charts, and Diagrams section. The viewpoint 'author' is appropriate as the passage is an index/table of contents with no attributed source. The stance 'asserts' and sentiment 'neutral' match the neutral, factual presentation of the chart title. The time qualifiers (when: 1850-1920, valid_from: 1850, valid_to: 1920) are consistent with the quoted text. The empty context is appropriate as the passage provides no specific restricting context for this chart reference.
Coffee exports, 1916-1920
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The table of contents explicitly lists 'Coffee exports, 1916-1920' at page 277, which directly states that there is content about coffee exports during the period 1916-1920.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The quote 'Coffee exports, 1916-1920' appears verbatim as a diagram title. The time qualifier correctly reflects the temporal scope shown (1916-1920). The viewpoint is appropriately attributed to the author/document, and the stance is a neutral assertion consistent with the passage's presentation of this factual chart listing. The sentiment is neutral as appropriate for a bibliographic reference. Context is empty as the passage provides none beyond the title itself.
they continued to flow in that direction through 1920
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage, which explicitly states 'The war turned both these currents into United States ports, and they continued to flow in that direction through 1920.' The data table also confirms the increasing flow of coffee exports to the United States through 1920.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. Viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all correct - the passage presents this as an authorial assertion with neutral tone. The temporal qualifiers are accurate: 'through 1920' matches the passage's phrasing exactly, and valid_to='1920' correctly captures the endpoint. The context is appropriately left empty as the passage provides no specific sense or role restriction. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. Minor deduction: the claim's subject 'coffee exports' and object 'United States' could be more precisely scoped to 'coffee exports from Guatemala' to fully match the passage's specific geographical focus, though this is implicit and not a significant fidelity issue.

nearly all of it going to France
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The average annual export for the five-year period ended with 1918 was 516,978 pounds, nearly all of it going to France.' The exact phrase from the quote appears verbatim in the source text.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is mostly faithful to the passage. All qualifiers align well: viewpoint is correctly identified as 'author' (the passage itself states this fact), stance is 'asserts' which matches the passage's presentation, sentiment is neutral which fits the factual tone, context 'French Indo-China' is correct, and the quote appears verbatim. The time qualifier is appropriately null since the passage doesn't specify a current timeframe (though it does reference a historical five-year period ending in 1918). Minor deduction: the claim could have been slightly more precise by noting this export pattern specifically refers to the five-year period ending 1918 mentioned in the passage, though the null time setting is technically acceptable given the passage doesn't explicitly frame this as current. Overall, qualifier fidelity is strong.
