judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact quote provided matches the text: 'Cold infusions were common, the practise being to let them stand overnight, to be filtered in the morning, and only heated, not boiled.' The claim accurately reflects what is explicitly written about the preparation method for cold coffee infusions.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — Claim is highly faithful to passage. Viewpoint should be 'passage' rather than 'author' since the statement is presented as general historical fact about the period, not attributed to a named source or the passage's author. All other qualifiers (stance, sentiment, time, context, quote) are correct and faithful to the passage. The quote is verbatim and accurately supports the claim.
