until now the industry is regarded as practically at a stand-still
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact phrase 'the industry is regarded as practically at a stand-still' appears verbatim in the text, and the context makes clear this refers to the coffee industry based on the surrounding discussion of coffee acreage, product, and exports.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to an unnamed general perspective ("author" is appropriate for an unattributed assessment). The stance "asserts" correctly captures the definitive framing. The sentiment "negative" accurately reflects the passage's characterization of decline. The time qualifier "now" matches the passage's temporal reference "until now." The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a specific sense or role. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and properly supports the claim.
- coffee industry is likely to remain at stand-still as long as rubber continues to hold commercially high position
likely so to remain as long as rubber shall continue to hold the commercially high position
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The text explicitly states the coffee industry is 'regarded as practically at a stand-still and likely so to remain as long as rubber shall continue to hold the commercially high position to which it has attained,' which matches the subject-predicate-object relationship claimed.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is nearly faithful to the passage. The quote is accurate and verbatim. However, there is a minor issue with the viewpoint qualifier: the passage does not explicitly attribute this statement to 'the author' as a named source—it presents the observation as general/implied authorial commentary. The passage uses passive constructions ('is regarded as practically at a stand-still') rather than explicit attribution. While 'author' is a reasonable interpretation for unattributed statements, stricter fidelity would note that the passage frames this as a general perception rather than explicit authorial assertion. All other qualifiers are faithful: stance 'asserts' is correct, sentiment 'negative' matches the decline and stall-still framing, time qualifiers are appropriately null as no specific dates are given, and context is appropriately empty. The quote supports the claim accurately.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'It was this disease which ruined the coffee industry in Ceylon.' The passage explicitly asserts that Ceylon leaf disease ruined the coffee industry in Ceylon, matching all elements of the claim including the exact quote provided.
- 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 is 'asserts' (the passage states factually that the disease 'ruined' the industry), sentiment is appropriately negative, time is null (the passage provides no specific temporal scope for the ruination, only that the disease first appeared in 1869), context correctly specifies 'Ceylon', and the quote appears verbatim in the passage supporting the claim.
- experimental stations experimenting with varieties for reviving coffee industry in recent years ⟨Ceylon, in recent years⟩
have been experimenting in recent years with _robusta_, _canephora_, _Ugandae_, and a _robusta_ hybrid for the purpose of reviving the industry in the country
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The quote provided matches the exact wording from the text, which explicitly states that experimental stations at Peradeniya and Anuradhapura 'have been experimenting in recent years with robusta, canephora, Ugandae, and a robusta hybrid for the purpose of reviving the industry in the country.'
- 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 assertion without attributing it to a named source). The stance is accurately 'asserts' - the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifier 'in recent years' matches the passage's phrasing exactly. The context 'Ceylon, in recent years' appropriately reflects the geographical and temporal scope. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim about experimental stations experimenting with coffee varieties for revival purposes.
Valorization was undertaken to save the coffee industry
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the opening sentence of the passage: 'Valorization was undertaken to save the coffee industry.' This is an exact match with no rewording required.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The claim directly quotes the opening sentence verbatim.

Time qualifiers are correctly null as the passage provides no specific temporal scope for this statement. Context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a particular sense or role.
