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.
