    judge verdicts (2)
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage, which explicitly states that New Orleans 'found it expedient to retain the old flag system to indicate the part of the pier where each mark of coffee is to be piled as taken from the vessel.' The subject, predicate, and object all match the text without rewording or generalization.
    • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself explains the system). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage presents this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's descriptive tone. Time qualifiers are correctly null as the passage provides no temporal scope. Context is empty as appropriate since the passage does not restrict the claim to a particular sense or role. The quote is verbatim from the passage and accurately supports the claim about the flag system's purpose.

    • 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 time qualifiers are correctly null since the passage provides no temporal scope. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a specific sense or role. The quote appears verbatim and directly supports the claim about the flag system being more understandable to illiterate laborers than letters or numbers.
