  she watched New Orleans run wild with an increase from 44,000,000 pounds to 380,000,000 pounds, or 763 percent gain; this meaning also the supplying of twenty-nine percent of the country's demands instead of five percent

  judge verdicts (4)

  • groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage states that New Orleans supplied 'five percent' of the country's coffee demands 'instead of' twenty-nine percent, with the context indicating this five percent figure represents the 1900 baseline. The claim is supported, though the phrasing 'supplied share of total coffee imports' is a minor rewording of the original text which says 'supplying of...the country's demands.'
  • qualifier_fidelity 0.50 fail — QUALIFIER FIDELITY FAILURES: (1) The quote does not support the claim. The passage states New Orleans supplied 'five percent' in 1900 ('instead of five percent'), but the quote provided is part of a comparative statement about 1920 vs 1900, not a direct attribution of 5% to 1900. The actual basis in the passage is: 'she watched New Orleans run wild with an increase from 44,000,000 pounds to 380,000,000 pounds... this meaning also the supplying of twenty-nine percent of the country's demands instead of five percent' - where 'instead of five percent' refers to 1900, but the quote captures only a fragment of the full comparative statement. (2) CONTEXT is redundant/unclear - 'context: "1900"' repeats the time information rather than specifying a distinct context (e.g., 'green-coffee trade' or 'port operations'). The object value of 'five percent' is technically correct based on the passage, but the quote selection is misleading as it's presented without the necessary comparative framing that makes it meaningful.
  • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly indicates that New Orleans supplied 'five percent' of the country's demands in 1900 ('instead of five percent'), which increased to twenty-nine percent by 1920.
  • qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is mostly faithful to the passage. The viewpoint, stance, sentiment, time, and context qualifiers are all correct. However, there is a minor issue with the quote and object mapping: the quote states New Orleans supplied 'twenty-nine percent of the country's demands instead of five percent' in 1920, meaning five percent was the OLD share (in 1900), not the explicit statement about 1900. The passage does support this inference (five percent is mentioned as the 1900 baseline when comparing to 1920's twenty-nine percent), but the quote as presented could be clearer that it refers to the historical comparison. The object value '5 percent' is correct and supported, but the quote encompasses both the old and new figures, making it slightly imprecise for representing only the 1900 figure.
