  half of one percent in large lots

  judge verdicts (2)

  • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says spot brokers receive 'a commission of about fifteen cents a bag in small lots, and half of one percent in large lots,' which directly supports the claim that spot brokers charge half of one percent commission in large lots.
  • qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is nearly fully faithful to the passage. All qualifiers are appropriate: viewpoint is correctly attributed to 'author' (the passage presents this as factual information), stance is 'asserts' (not disputed), sentiment is neutral, time is null (the passage gives no temporal restriction beyond the 1922 date context), and context correctly specifies 'in large lots'. The quote appears verbatim in the passage. Minor deduction: the temporal framing could note that this refers to conditions "at present (1922)" as stated in the passage opening, though the claim's null time value is acceptable given the passage doesn't restrict this specific rule to a particular period.
