a shipment of 6,461 pounds to the mother country in 1723
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly mentions 'a shipment of 6,461 pounds to the mother country in 1723,' confirming that Dutch Guiana shipped coffee in that year.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly identified as 'author' since the passage presents this as factual history rather than attributed to a named source. The stance 'asserts' matches the passage's presentation. Sentiment is neutral, appropriate for factual reporting. The time qualifier correctly specifies 1723 with matching valid_from and valid_to dates, consistent with the passage's temporal reference. 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 directly supports the claim.
Seven years later, 472,000 pounds were shipped
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage states 'Seven years later, 472,000 pounds were shipped' after mentioning a 1723 shipment, which calculates to 1730. The claim accurately reflects this information, though it uses simplified wording ('shipped coffee') for what the passage specifies as '472,000 pounds were shipped' (understood to be coffee from context).
- qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — The time qualifier is unfaithful. The passage states the initial shipment was in 1723, and 'Seven years later' would be 1730. However, the passage does not explicitly state 1730 anywhere, and the quote itself contains no date reference. The 'when', 'valid_from', and 'valid_to' should either be null (since no normalized date appears in the quote) or be marked as inferred. Additionally, the context qualifier is empty when it should specify this refers to coffee 'the commodity/export' to maintain fidelity to the passage's focus on trade shipments rather than the plant itself. The viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are faithful.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly states 'Seven years later, 472,000 pounds were shipped' in reference to seven years after the 1723 shipment, confirming that Dutch Guiana shipped coffee at that time.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. Viewpoint correctly attributes to 'author' (the passage makes the statement directly, not through a named source). Stance 'asserts' and sentiment 'neutral' match the passage's factual tone. The time qualifier 'seven years after 1723' (correctly interpreted as 1730) is accurate. Context 'export trade' is appropriate. The quote appears verbatim and supports the claim. Minor note: 'valid_from' and 'valid_to' are appropriately null since the passage provides only a single point in time, not a range. Deducting 0.1 only for the time representation being slightly awkward in phrasing, though mathematically correct.
in 1732-33 exportation reached 1,232,000 pounds
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage, which explicitly states 'in 1732-33 exportation reached 1,232,000 pounds.' The subject (Dutch Guiana), predicate (exported), object (coffee), and time period are all clearly stated in the text.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (no named source in passage). The stance 'asserts' matches the passage's declarative presentation. The sentiment is neutral, appropriate for a factual historical statement. The time qualifiers (when: 1732-33, valid_from: 1732, valid_to: 1733) precisely match the passage's temporal reference. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a specific sense or role. The quote 'in 1732-33 exportation reached 1,232,000 pounds' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
Exports were averaging 16,900,000 pounds a year by 1760
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The text explicitly states 'Exports were averaging 16,900,000 pounds a year by 1760,' which confirms that Dutch Guiana exported coffee in 1760.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (no named source in passage), stance is 'asserts' which matches the factual presentation, sentiment is neutral as appropriate for statistical data, time is correctly set to 1760 with the passage stating 'by 1760', context is appropriately empty as no specific sense restriction applies, and the quote appears verbatim and directly supports the claim.
reached almost 20,600,000 pounds in 1777
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly states 'reached almost 20,600,000 pounds in 1777' in reference to coffee exports from Dutch Guiana, fully supporting the subject-predicate-object relationship with the specified date.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — Claim is largely faithful to the passage. Perspective qualifiers are correct: viewpoint is 'author' (the passage itself asserts this, not a named source), stance is 'asserts' (appropriate for factual reporting), and sentiment is 'neutral' (matches the passage's tone). Time qualifiers are accurate: 'when' is 1777 with matching valid_from and valid_to dates, consistent with the passage's statement. Context is appropriately empty since the passage does not restrict the claim to a particular sense or role of coffee. Quote is verbatim and supports the claim. Minor note: The quote could be slightly more complete ("reached almost 20,600,000 pounds in 1777") but the provided quote accurately captures the relevant information and appears verbatim in the passage.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, they amounted to about 17,000,000 pounds
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The quoted text explicitly states that at the beginning of the nineteenth century, coffee exports from Dutch Guiana amounted to about 17,000,000 pounds, which directly confirms that Dutch Guiana exported coffee during the early nineteenth century.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (implicit narrator of the historical account). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective reporting tone. The time qualifiers are accurate: 'early nineteenth century' with valid_from 1800 and valid_to 1810 correctly capture the phrase 'At the beginning of the nineteenth century.' The context is appropriately empty since the passage does not restrict coffee to a specific sense or role. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim that Dutch Guiana exported coffee at that time period.
a few years later fell off to some 7,000,000 pounds, where they remained until about 1840
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The text explicitly states that exports 'fell off to some 7,000,000 pounds, where they remained until about 1840,' confirming that Dutch Guiana exported coffee during this period with exports remaining stable at that level until around 1840.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. All qualifiers are appropriate: viewpoint correctly uses 'author' (no named source in passage), stance 'asserts' matches the passage's straightforward presentation, sentiment 'neutral' fits the factual tone, and context is appropriately empty for this straightforward export claim. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. However, there is a minor issue with the time qualifier: the passage states exports 'amounted to about 17,000,000 pounds' at the beginning of the nineteenth century (circa 1800), then 'fell off to some 7,000,000 pounds, where they remained until about 1840.' The valid_from date of 1810 is an interpretation not explicitly stated in the passage—the text only indicates 'a few years later' after the beginning of the nineteenth century (1800). A more precise reading would note this ambiguity in the source material.
- Dutch Guiana exported coffee in declining quantities coffee after 1840 to 1875 ⟨as a trade commodity⟩
after which they began again to decline. Exportation had practically ceased by 1875
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The claim is supported by the passage. The text explicitly states that exports 'reached almost 20,600,000 pounds in 1777' and 'by 1875, only 1,420 pounds going out of the country,' confirming that Dutch Guiana exported coffee during the period after 1840 through 1875, though in declining quantities as indicated by the phrase 'after which they began again to decline.'
- qualifier_fidelity 0.50 fail — Multiple qualifier issues: (1) TIME - the claim's 'when' states 'after 1840' but valid_to is 1875, which contradicts the passage's description of this period as one of decline/cessation, not active export; the passage says 'after which they began again to decline' starting around 1840, leading to exports 'practically ceased by 1875'. The time qualifier should reflect decline, not export continuation. (2) CONTEXT - the claim lacks context specification; while the passage discusses both 'coffee' the plant and coffee shipments/exports, the context should specify this is about coffee as a trade commodity. (3) QUOTE FIDELITY - the quote 'after which they began again to decline' actually supports a decline predicate, not an export/continuation predicate; it contradicts the claim's assertion of exporting. The claim should either change the predicate to reflect decline, or use a different quote like 'Regular shipments of coffee from Dutch Guiana have been made for two centuries' to support ongoing exports.
- groundedness 0.90 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage, which explicitly states 'after which they began again to decline' (referring to post-1840) and 'Exportation had practically ceased by 1875, only 1,420 pounds going out of the country.' The characterization of declining quantities during this period is well-grounded in the text.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as historical fact without attributing it to a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective reporting. The time period 'after 1840 to 1875' accurately reflects the passage's statement 'after which they began again to decline. Exportation had practically ceased by 1875.' The context 'as a trade commodity' is appropriate for coffee exports. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the declining export claim.
Exportation had practically ceased by 1875, only 1,420 pounds going out of the country
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The passage explicitly says 'Exportation had practically ceased by 1875, only 1,420 pounds going out of the country,' which directly supports the subject-predicate-object relationship that Dutch Guiana ceased exporting coffee by 1875.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (no named source in passage). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifier 'by 1875' is accurate and consistent with the passage's statement. The context is empty, which is appropriate as the passage does not restrict the claim to a specific sense or role. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim about exportation ceasing.
In 1890, production was only 15,736 pounds
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly reports 'In 1890, production was only 15,736 pounds,' confirming that Dutch Guiana produced coffee in 1890.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself states the fact without attribution to a named source).

The time qualifiers (when: 1890, valid_from: 1890, valid_to: 1890) are accurate and consistent with the passage's temporal reference. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the meaning to a particular sense or role. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim.
exports only 476 pounds
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The claim that Dutch Guiana exported coffee in 1890 is directly supported by the passage, which states 'In 1890, production was only 15,736 pounds, and exports only 476 pounds.' The specific quantity differs slightly from the claim's quote (476 pounds vs. the general assertion), but the core fact of coffee export in that year is clearly stated.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as factual reporting). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states facts without dispute. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifier correctly identifies 1890 as both when and the valid temporal range, matching the passage's statement 'In 1890, production was only 15,736 pounds, and exports only 476 pounds.' The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict coffee to a particular sense or role. The quote appears verbatim and directly supports the claim about 1890 exports.
since then there has been a considerable increase
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The text explicitly states 'since then there has been a considerable increase' referring to the period after 1890, with specific production and export figures showing growth from 1890 through 1917.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to 'author' (no named source in passage). The stance 'asserts' matches the passage's factual presentation. The sentiment 'positive' aligns with 'considerable increase' which has positive connotation. The time qualifier 'after 1890' with valid_from '1890' and valid_to null is accurate—the passage states 'In 1890, production was only 15,736 pounds...but since then there has been a considerable increase,' clearly marking 1890 as the reference point for ongoing increase. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a specific sense or role of coffee. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim of increase.
In 1900, production amounted to 433,000 pounds
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage, which explicitly states 'In 1900, production amounted to 433,000 pounds.' The subject (Dutch Guiana), predicate (produced), object (coffee), and time frame (1900) all match the passage without any rewording or interpretation needed.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (implicit narrator of the passage). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective reporting. The time qualifier specifies 1900 with valid_from and valid_to both set to 1900, which precisely matches the passage's statement 'In 1900, production amounted to 433,000 pounds'. The context is appropriately empty as the passage provides no specific sense restriction. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
exports to 424,000 pounds

- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as factual statement). The stance of 'asserts' matches the passage's straightforward reporting. The sentiment is neutral, appropriate for factual export data. The time qualifiers (when: 1900, valid_from: 1900, valid_to: 1900) accurately reflect the specific year mentioned in the passage ('In 1900'). The context is empty, which is appropriate since the passage does not restrict coffee to a particular sense or role.

- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage provides factual statements without attribution to named sources). The stance is accurately 'asserts' - the passage states facts definitively. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifier is precise and matches the passage exactly ('In 1908'). The context is empty, which is appropriate since the passage does not restrict the claim to a specific sense or role of coffee.

- qualifier_fidelity 0.95 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint (author), stance (asserts), and sentiment (neutral) correctly reflect how the passage presents the information. The time qualifier (1908) accurately matches the passage's statement 'In 1908, 1,108,000 pounds were grown, of which 310,000 pounds were sent abroad.' The context is appropriately empty since the passage does not restrict the meaning of coffee. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim about exports. Minor note: The claim could have used the more precise quote '1,108,000 pounds were grown, of which 310,000 pounds were sent abroad' to show the total production context, but the selected quote is accurate and the claim is fully supported.
in 1909, the figures were 552,000 pounds produced
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The quoted text explicitly mentions that in 1909, 552,000 pounds of coffee were produced in Dutch Guiana, matching the subject, predicate, object, and time period specified in the claim.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as factual information without attribution to a named source). The stance is correctly marked as 'asserts' - the passage states the production figures definitively. The sentiment is neutral, which matches the passage's straightforward reporting of production data. The time qualifier correctly specifies 1909 with matching valid_from and valid_to dates, consistent with the passage's statement 'in 1909, the figures were 552,000 pounds produced'. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a particular sense or role. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about production amounts in 1909.

The plants were brought first into Dutch Guiana
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The plants were brought first into Dutch Guiana.' This is an exact match with the source text.
- 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 appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's neutral tone. The time is correctly null since the passage provides no specific date for when plants were brought into Dutch Guiana. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict this to a particular sense or role. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim.
a few years after the plant was introduced
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage states that regular shipments of coffee began 'a few years after the plant was introduced' with the first shipment in 1723, which directly supports the claim that coffee was introduced to Dutch Guiana a few years before 1723. The claim is stated with minor rewording but accurately reflects the passage's information.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim's qualifiers are largely faithful to the passage. Viewpoint (author), stance (asserts), and sentiment (neutral) are appropriate. The time qualifier correctly interprets 'a few years after the plant was introduced' as occurring before 1723, with valid_to set to 1723. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. One minor issue: the context field is empty, but since the passage discusses coffee generically without restricting it to a specific sense, role, or period, this is acceptable. All core qualifiers are faithful to the source material.
although cultivation still continued, as evidenced by a production of 82,357 pounds in that year
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The text explicitly states 'although cultivation still continued, as evidenced by a production of 82,357 pounds in that year' (referring to 1875), confirming that coffee continued to be cultivated in Dutch Guiana in 1875.
- 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). The stance 'asserts' accurately reflects how the passage presents this information. The sentiment is neutral, matching the factual tone of the passage. The time qualifier correctly identifies 1875 as 'that year' referenced in the passage. The context is appropriately empty since no specific sense or role of coffee is restricted. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about continued cultivation in 1875.
plantings have been steadily growing
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage states 'the exportation of 1,600,000 pounds in 1917 indicates that plantings have been steadily growing,' which directly supports the claim. The claim accurately captures this assertion, though it slightly condenses the passage's phrasing of 'indicates that plantings have been steadily growing' into a direct statement.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The viewpoint, stance, sentiment, and quote are all accurate. The time qualifier is appropriate given that the passage explicitly references 1917. However, the context field is empty when it arguably should specify 'the industry' or 'coffee plantations' since the passage discusses coffee cultivation and exportation in Dutch Guiana. This is a minor issue since the context is somewhat implicit from the subject and object. The quote appears verbatim and supports the claim appropriately.
Dutch Guiana, 236
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage lists 'Dutch Guiana, 236' under the entry for '_Liberica, C._', which indicates Liberica coffee was cultivated or present in Dutch Guiana. While not explicitly stated with the word 'cultivated,' the indexing structure directly supports this relationship with minor rewording required.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (this is an index entry without attribution to a named source). The stance 'asserts' is appropriate for a simple index entry. The sentiment is neutral. The time qualifiers are correctly null since the passage provides no temporal information. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the sense of Liberica. The quote 'Dutch Guiana, 236' appears verbatim and supports the claim that Liberica is cultivated in Dutch Guiana.
