    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The slave-owner from Dutch Guiana explicitly says 'the difference ascribable only to your differential duty' when comparing the sugar prices between Surinam (£11 per hogshead) and Demerara (£33 per hogshead), making this a direct quote from the passage with no added interpretation.
    • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint correctly identifies the speaker as 'a slave-owner in Dutch Guiana' (not the author or editor), matching the passage's framing. The stance is 'asserts' which is appropriate for a direct statement. The sentiment is neutral, correctly reflecting the matter-of-fact tone of the economic argument. The time qualifiers are appropriately null since the passage provides no specific temporal reference. The context is empty as appropriate since no special sense restriction applies. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about the differential duty causing the price difference.
