judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The exact statement 'The three largest producing countries of Central America, Guatemala, Salvador, and Costa Rica, were all closely linked to Germany by the coffee trade before the war' appears verbatim in the text, making this a fully grounded claim.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — Qualifiers are largely faithful. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. Viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all appropriate. Context correctly identifies the pre-WWI period. Minor issue: valid_to is set to 1914, but the passage only states 'before the war' without specifying an exact date. The normalized date should remain null or be marked as approximate, since the passage provides no specific end date—only a relative temporal reference. However, 1914 is a reasonable inference for 'before the war' in this historical context, so this is a minor deviation that does not significantly impair fidelity.
Germany 1,033,088
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The table 'COFFEE EXPORTS FROM BRITISH INDIA' explicitly shows that 1,033,088 pounds of coffee were exported to Germany in the fiscal year 1914, confirming the subject-predicate-object relationship with the correct time period.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents the table data neutrally). The stance is correctly marked as 'asserts' - the passage states facts without dispute. The sentiment is neutral, matching the straightforward presentation of export statistics. The time qualifier correctly specifies 1914 (fiscal year), consistent with the table header and the passage's temporal scope. The context is appropriately empty as the passage provides no restricting sense or role for coffee beyond the export context already captured in the predicate. The quote accurately reflects the table entry for Germany's coffee imports in the 1914 fiscal year.
Germany 25,312
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The table clearly shows that 25,312 pounds of coffee were exported from British India to Germany in the fiscal year 1920, exactly as stated in the claim.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly identified as 'author' since the passage presents the trade data without attribution to a named source. The stance 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage straightforwardly presents the export figures. The sentiment 'neutral' matches the factual, non-evaluative tone of the data presentation. The time qualifier correctly specifies 1920 (fiscal year ending March 31, 1920) as shown in the table. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a particular sense or role of coffee. The quote '25,312' appears verbatim in the table under the Germany row for the 1920 fiscal year column and directly supports the claim about coffee exports to Germany in that year.
