sold at twenty-four and three-quarters cents in January, 1880
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'the latter, which had sold at twenty-four and three-quarters cents in January, 1880' refers to Javas and explicitly provides the exact price and time period.
- 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. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifier correctly specifies January 1880 with proper normalization. The context is appropriately empty as no specific context restriction applies. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
fell to nineteen and one-half cents in July
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'the latter, which had sold at twenty-four and three-quarters cents in January, 1880, fell to nineteen and one-half cents in July.' The subject (Javas), predicate (fell to), object (nineteen and one-half cents), and time (July 1880) are all explicitly stated as quoted.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (implicit narrator), the stance is properly marked as 'asserts' for a factual statement, the sentiment 'negative' appropriately reflects the downward price movement, the time qualifier 'July 1880' matches the passage exactly with correct normalization to '1880-07', the context is appropriately empty as no specific sense restriction is given, and the quote appears verbatim in the passage supporting the claim about Java coffee prices.
eighteen cents in November
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'the latter, which had sold at twenty-four and three-quarters cents in January, 1880, fell to nineteen and one-half cents in July, to eighteen cents in November and to sixteen cents in December.' Javas did indeed fall to eighteen cents in November 1880, exactly as claimed.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself makes this factual statement). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment 'negative' is appropriate given the context of price decline. The time qualifier correctly specifies November 1880 with proper normalization (1880-11), matching the passage's statement 'eighteen cents in November'. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a particular sense or role. The quote 'eighteen cents in November' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about Javas falling to that price.
sixteen cents in December
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'the latter, which had sold at twenty-four and three-quarters cents in January, 1880, fell to nineteen and one-half cents in July, to eighteen cents in November and to sixteen cents in December.' The passage explicitly confirms that Javas fell to sixteen cents in December 1880.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote 'sixteen cents in December' appears verbatim and supports the claim that Javas fell to sixteen cents in December 1880. The time qualifier is correctly set to December 1880 (1880-12). However, there is a minor issue: the context field is empty when it should ideally specify 'coffee prices' or similar, as the passage restricts the claim to the economic/price sense of 'Javas' (a type of coffee). This is a minor contextual omission rather than a substantive error. All other qualifiers (viewpoint, stance, sentiment, quote) are faithful to the passage.
had to let the Javas go
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact phrase 'had to let the Javas go' appears verbatim in the first sentence, describing the syndicate's action in 1880 when it had its hands full supporting Brazil grades.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all appropriate - the author directly states the syndicate 'had to let the Javas go' as a factual assertion with neutral tone. The quote is verbatim and accurately supports the claim. The time qualifier is appropriate for 1880, though technically the passage indicates this decision occurred in the middle of the year (the passage states Javas 'had sold at twenty-four and three-quarters cents in January, 1880' before falling later). The context field is empty and appropriately so, as the passage does not restrict this to a particular sense or role of Javas. Minor deduction: the valid_to field is null when it could reasonably be inferred that the condition extended through at least December 1880 based on the price data provided, though null is defensible since the passage doesn't explicitly state when the syndicate's decision ended.
