  • 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 statement). The stance is properly characterized as 'asserts' - a straightforward factual claim. The sentiment is neutral, which matches the passage's neutral tone when presenting this historical dating. The time qualifier correctly captures 'five centuries before the Christian Era' with normalized date '-500' and null valid_to (no end date specified).

The quote matches verbatim: 'Laotse lived five centuries before the Christian Era.' and directly supports the claim.
