The general practise throughout the world has been to hand-pick the fruit
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the opening sentence: 'The general practise throughout the world has been to hand-pick the fruit.' The passage explicitly states that hand-picking has been the general practice worldwide, making this claim fully grounded in the text.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (no named source in passage). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the declarative statement. Sentiment is neutral, appropriate for factual description. Time qualifiers are all null, which is correct since the passage uses historical language ('has been') without specifying dates. Context 'throughout the world' directly matches the passage phrase. The quote is verbatim and accurately supports the claim about hand-picking being general practice for coffee fruit harvesting.
- black and blighted beans, hulls, stones, and foreign matter can be separated by hand-picking ⟨green coffee⟩
These can be separated by hand-picking and determined gravi-metrically
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says 'These can be separated by hand-picking and determined gravi-metrically,' where 'These' refers to the previously mentioned black and blighted coffee beans, coffee hulls, stones, and other foreign matter found in green coffee during macroscopic examination.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is highly faithful to the passage. The quote is verbatim, the context correctly specifies 'green coffee', and the qualifiers (neutral sentiment, assertion stance, no time frame) all match the passage. The viewpoint should technically be 'methods' or 'official methods' rather than 'author' since the passage explicitly states '(Sole responsibility for any errors in compilation or printing of these methods is assumed by the author)' - indicating the author compiled methods rather than originating this claim. However, this is a minor distinction and the substance is faithful.
