passed through a double set of cloth filters
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'It is then heated to boiling point in closed tanks and passed through a double set of cloth filters.' The subject (liquor), predicate (is passed through), and object (double set of cloth filters) are all explicitly present in the text without requiring outside knowledge or over-generalization.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote appears verbatim and supports the claim. Qualifiers are appropriate: viewpoint as 'author' is correct since the passage does not attribute this to a named source; stance 'asserts' matches the declarative framing; sentiment 'neutral' is appropriate for a technical description; time qualifiers are correctly null as no temporal information is given; context is appropriately empty as no special sense or role restriction applies. Minor deduction: the claim specifies 'liquor' but the passage more precisely refers to 'thickened liquor' - however, this is a minor specificity issue rather than an unfaithful qualifier, as 'liquor' accurately represents the object being discussed.
each tank being capable of holding 25,000 pounds of liquor
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'each tank being capable of holding 25,000 pounds of liquor.' The subject (cylindrical tanks), predicate (hold), and object (liquor) are all explicitly mentioned without requiring outside knowledge or over-generalization.

The quote appears verbatim and directly supports the claim about tank capacity.
As the first liquor comes through the bags, it is a little cloudy
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage's opening sentence: 'As the first liquor comes through the bags, it is a little cloudy.' The passage explicitly confirms that the first liquor is cloudy when it initially comes through the bags, which exactly matches the claim.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (who is describing the process), the stance appropriately asserts the observation, sentiment is neutral as the passage treats cloudiness as a normal part of the process, the time qualifier accurately captures the temporal scope ('as the first liquor comes through the bags'), context is appropriately empty as no specific sense restriction is needed, and the quote appears verbatim and directly supports the claim.
the thin layer of sediment that is deposited from the liquor itself on the inner surface of the bag
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The passage directly states 'It is interesting to know that it is not really the bag that does the filtering, but the thin layer of sediment that is deposited from the liquor itself on the inner surface of the bag.' This explicitly asserts that the thin layer of sediment does the filtering, making the claim fully supported and directly stated.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.80 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote accurately reflects the passage's statement that 'it is not really the bag that does the filtering, but the thin layer of sediment that is deposited from the liquor itself on the inner surface of the bag.' Viewpoint, stance, sentiment, time qualifiers, and context are all appropriate. However, there is a minor issue with the quote selection: while the quoted text appears verbatim in the passage, it does not fully capture the complete claim's scope. The passage states the sediment layer does the filtering 'in conjunction with' the cotton bag fabric, but the quote alone emphasizes the sediment without this collaborative aspect. The claim's predicate 'does the filtering' is supported, but the quote could be more comprehensive to capture the full nuance of the passage's explanation.
which causes cloudy liquor by allowing the precipitates to gain entrance into the clear liquor
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says 'sometimes a bag inside the filter breaks, which causes cloudy liquor by allowing the precipitates to gain entrance into the clear liquor,' matching the subject-predicate-object relationship exactly.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (passage states facts without named source attribution). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the passage's declarative statement. The sentiment 'negative' is appropriate given that a broken bag is presented as a problem requiring monitoring and correction. The time qualifiers are correctly null as no temporal scope is specified. The context is appropriately empty as no particular sense or role restriction applies. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and accurately supports the claim about broken bags causing cloudy liquor.
The valve on the bottom of the filter is then opened
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The valve on the bottom of the filter is then opened and the liquor, as it filters slowly through the char, is led through a copper pipe to the liquor gallery.' The subject (valve), predicate (is opened), and context (on bottom of filter) are all explicitly stated without requiring outside knowledge or over-generalization.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly 'author' (no named source attributes the statement). The stance 'asserts' is appropriate for the straightforward descriptive tone. The sentiment is neutral, matching the technical, non-evaluative nature of the passage. The time qualifiers are correctly set to null, as the passage provides no specific temporal information. The context 'on bottom of filter' accurately reflects the passage's restriction ('The valve on the bottom of the filter'). The quote appears verbatim and directly supports the claim about the valve being opened.
the filter will always remain full of liquor
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly states 'so that the flow of liquor through the char will be slow and uniform and the filter will always remain full of liquor,' confirming both the assertion and its causal relationship to the pipe design.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (passage presents this as descriptive technical information without attribution to a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. Sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. Time qualifiers are null as the passage provides no temporal scope. The context 'because of pipe design' is accurate and supported by the preceding sentence explaining the upward-leading pipe design ensures slow, uniform flow. The quote 'the filter will always remain full of liquor' appears verbatim and directly supports the claim.
reduce the color of the liquor
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says that thickened liquor 'is treated with sulphur fumes, in order to further precipitate the soluble impurities and reduce the color of the liquor,' which matches the subject-predicate-object relationship claimed.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.95 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage is a technical description without attribution to a named source). The stance is 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is appropriately neutral/positive in the technical context. Time qualifiers are correctly null as no temporal information is provided. Context is empty as appropriate. The quote 'reduce the color of the liquor' appears verbatim in the passage and accurately supports the claim. Minor note: 'sentiment: positive' is slightly interpretive for a technical statement, but this is acceptable in technical/instructional contexts where describing a desired effect can be considered positive.
