judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact phrase 'the final break to eight and one-quarter cents occurring late in March of the following year' appears verbatim, confirming that Rio coffee reached the price of eight and one-quarter cents in late March 1884 in the New York market.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is faithful to the passage across all qualifiers with one minor consideration: The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (passage describes historical events without naming a specific source). Stance, sentiment, and context are all accurately represented. The time qualifier uses 'valid_to': '1884-03' which is a reasonable normalization of 'late in March of the following year' (the year being 1884, following 1883 mentioned in the passage). The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. The only minor issue is that 'valid_from' is set to null when arguably it could reflect the same temporal period, but this is a reasonable interpretation given the passage only specifies when the break occurred, not a range. All essential qualifiers are faithful.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact phrase 'Santos 4s, which had sold at eight and one-quarter cents in May' appears verbatim, confirming that Santos 4s sold at eight and one-quarter cents in May.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (implicit narrator), the stance is appropriately 'asserts' for a factual statement, sentiment is neutral, the time qualifier 'in May' matches the passage with appropriate date normalization (1918-05-01 to 1918-05-31), context is empty as the passage provides none beyond the commodity itself, and the quote appears verbatim in the passage supporting the claim about the price of Santos 4s.
