judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The quoted text explicitly confirms that commencing in 1879, the government was to reduce its interest in the original contract plantations one-thirteenth annually, with government participation terminating by 1891. All temporal and quantitative details match the passage exactly.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. Viewpoint is correctly attributed to 'author' (the passage is a historical account with no named source attribution). Stance is correctly marked as 'asserts' since the passage states this as fact. Sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. Time qualifiers accurately reflect the passage's statement: 'Commencing with the year 1879' (valid_from: 1879) and termination by 1891 (valid_to: 1891), with the annual reduction pattern specified. Context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict this to a particular sense or role. The quote appears verbatim and directly supports the claim about the government reducing its interest in contract plantations.
