On June 17, another battle commenced, December dropping back to seventeen cents
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage with the exact quote provided: 'On June 17, another battle commenced, December dropping back to seventeen cents.' The subject, predicate, object, and temporal reference all match the passage without any rewording or inference.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. The time qualifier is accurate (June 17, 1887). The viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all appropriate - the passage presents this as factual reporting (asserts), frames it negatively as part of a market 'crash' and 'battle', and the author presents it without attribution to a named source. The context is appropriately empty as no specific contextual restriction applies. Minor deduction: the 'sentiment' qualifier could be debated as slightly over-interpreted - while the passage does frame market declines negatively, the claim's 'negative' sentiment is more of an interpretive overlay than explicitly stated in the passage. However, this is a reasonable inference from context.
a rally to eighteen and one-tenth cents
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'Then came a rally to eighteen and one-tenth cents' appears in the final paragraph describing the sequence of price movements after June 17, 1887, exactly matching the claim's subject, predicate, object, and timeframe.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote appears verbatim and the temporal framing is accurate—the passage states 'On June 17, another battle commenced, December dropping back to seventeen cents. Then came a rally to eighteen and one-tenth cents.' The viewpoint (author), stance (asserts), and sentiment (positive) are all appropriate. However, there is a minor issue with the time qualifier: the claim states 'valid_to: null', but the passage indicates this rally occurred in a specific sequence of events on or shortly after June 17, followed by subsequent price movements. While the passage doesn't provide an explicit end date, the temporal scope could be more precisely bounded to reflect that this was a temporary rally followed by further declines. The 'when' value of 'after June 17' is reasonable but could be more specific given the narrative sequence. This is a minor temporal imprecision rather than a fundamental error, hence the deduction is small.
a drop to sixteen and one-half cents
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The claim is supported by the passage, which states 'On June 17, another battle commenced, December dropping back to seventeen cents. Then came a rally to eighteen and one-tenth cents, a drop to sixteen and one-half cents.' The specific price drop to sixteen and one-half cents is directly stated, though the exact timing relative to June 17 requires minor inference from the sequence of events described.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote appears verbatim and supports the claim. However, there is a minor temporal imprecision: the passage states 'On June 17, another battle commenced, December dropping back to seventeen cents. Then came a rally to eighteen and one-tenth cents, a drop to sixteen and one-half cents' - the sequence indicates the drop to sixteen and one-half cents occurred after the rally to eighteen and one-tenth, not immediately 'after June 17' as the claim's 'when' qualifier suggests. The valid_from date of 1887-06-17 is therefore slightly inaccurate; it should reflect the point in the sequence after the rally was mentioned. All other qualifiers (viewpoint, stance, sentiment, context, quote) are faithful to the passage.
another rally to eighteen and one-tenth
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'Then came a rally to eighteen and one-tenth cents' describing December coffee prices. The phrase matches the passage verbatim and accurately captures the stated price movement.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote "another rally to eighteen and one-tenth" appears verbatim and accurately supports the predicate "rallied to". The context is appropriately empty as the passage provides no restrictive context. The sentiment "positive" is appropriate for a rally (upward price movement). The viewpoint "author" is correct as the passage does not attribute this to a named source. However, there is a minor issue with the time qualifier: while "after previous drop" captures the relative sequence, the passage actually specifies this rally occurred after a drop to sixteen and one-half cents, followed by the rally to eighteen and one-tenth. The temporal relation is more precisely "in sequence during late June 1887" rather than the generic "after previous drop", but this is not a material error in the qualifier itself.
on June 24, another break to the previous low level of sixteen cents for December
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'on June 24, another break to the previous low level of sixteen cents for December' explicitly confirms that December contracts broke to sixteen cents on June 24, 1887.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage is a historical narrative without attribution to a named source). The stance of 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is correctly negative, reflecting the language of 'break' which carries negative connotation in financial contexts. The time qualifier matches exactly: June 24, 1887 is correctly normalized. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a specific sense or role. The quote 'on June 24, another break to the previous low level of sixteen cents for December' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim that December coffee broke to sixteen cents on that date.
