    judge verdicts (4)
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The passage directly lists 'MACAULAY, T.B. (Coffee houses in the 17th and 18th centuries.) In his, History of England. I: 334-336.' This directly states that Macaulay wrote about coffee houses in the 17th and 18th centuries, exactly matching the claim.
    • qualifier_fidelity 0.50 fail — The claim has two critical qualifier fidelity issues: (1) CONTEXT: The passage shows that Macaulay wrote about coffee houses specifically 'in the 17th and 18th centuries' as a topic/period of study, but the context field should reflect this temporal scope of the subject matter, not duplicate it in a misleading way. More importantly, (2) TIME: The 'time' qualifier represents when the claim itself is valid or was made, not the time period that Macaulay wrote about. The passage indicates Macaulay's work 'History of England' (where this content appears) was published at an unspecified time, so 'when' should be null. The '17th and 18th centuries' refers to what Macaulay wrote ABOUT (the historical period), not WHEN he wrote it. The valid_from and valid_to dates should not be populated based on the subject matter's temporal scope.
    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The passage directly states that MACAULAY, T.B. wrote about coffee houses in the 17th and 18th centuries, as evidenced by the bibliographic entry showing '(Coffee houses in the 17th and 18th centuries.) In his, History of England.' This is a fully supported claim without rewording or outside knowledge required.
    • qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. Viewpoint, stance, sentiment, and time qualifiers are appropriate. The quote is verbatim from the passage. However, there is a minor issue with context: the passage indicates that the content is specifically about 'Coffee houses in the 17th and 18th centuries' as a restricted scope within Macaulay's broader History of England, but the claim's context qualifier correctly captures this restriction, so it is accurate. The quote supports the claim appropriately. Deduction of 0.15 for minor imprecision in how the context is framed relative to the parenthetical notation in the source.
