judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the opening sentence of the passage. The exact quote provided matches the passage verbatim, confirming that by 1760 in France, the infusion (steeping) method had generally replaced the decoction (boiling) method.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself states this fact without attribution to a named source). The stance 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage presents this as factual information. Sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifier 'by 1760' with valid_to set to 1760 is correct. The context 'in France' accurately reflects the passage's geographic qualifier. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim.
