  judge verdicts (2)

  • groundedness 1.00 pass — This claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says fermentation 'softens the membranous covering' when describing the fermentation process and its effects on the coffee bean.
  • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (passage describes the process objectively). The stance is assertive as the passage states this as fact. Sentiment is neutral, matching the technical, descriptive tone. Time qualifiers are appropriately null since no specific temporal scope is given. Context is empty as appropriate since the passage does not restrict this to a particular sense or role. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim that fermentation softens the membranous covering.
