judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The claim is substantially supported by the passage. The text explicitly states that French Indo-China coffees 'while comparatively new, give promise; but as yet are not commercially important.' The phrasing 'give promise' is directly quoted, though the claim slightly simplifies the full context by omitting the immediate qualification that they are 'not yet commercially important.'
- qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — The quote is incomplete and does not fully support the claim as stated. The passage says 'The coffees of French Indo-China, while comparatively new, give promise; but as yet are not commercially important.' The claim's quote 'while comparatively new, give promise' omits the crucial qualifier 'but as yet are not commercially important,' which contradicts the claim's assertion. The stance should be 'asserts with qualification/caveat' rather than a simple 'asserts,' as the passage explicitly limits the promise with 'but as yet are not commercially important.' The sentiment is positive in tone but heavily qualified by the passage's negation of current commercial importance.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The quoted text explicitly states that French Indo-China coffees "give promise; but as yet are not commercially important" and describes them as "comparatively new," matching all elements of the knowledge graph claim.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as a general assessment in the Trade Values column). The stance is accurately marked as 'asserts' - the passage makes a direct claim without framing it as disputed. The sentiment 'ambivalent' is appropriate given the passage balances positive promise with current lack of commercial importance. The time qualifier correctly captures the passage's temporal framing ('comparatively new' and 'as yet') with null values for specific dates, which is appropriate since the passage provides no absolute dates. Context is empty, which is correct as the passage does not restrict the claim to a specific sense or role. The quote is verbatim and directly supports all elements of the claim.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. Under 'French Indo-China', the text explicitly states: 'The coffees of French Indo-China, while comparatively new, give promise; but as yet are not commercially important.' This directly supports the subject-predicate-object relationship without requiring outside knowledge or over-generalization.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote 'but as yet are not commercially important' appears verbatim and accurately supports the assertion. Viewpoint (author), stance (asserts), and sentiment (neutral) are all appropriate. The temporal qualifier 'when: as yet' correctly captures the passage's temporal framing. Context is appropriately empty since the passage provides no restrictive context beyond the geographic region. One minor note: the object 'commercial trade' slightly reframes 'commercially important' from the passage, but this is a negligible paraphrase rather than an unfaithful qualifier, as both convey the same meaning.
