  • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The exact quote provided matches verbatim from the text, including the specific percentages (8 per cent. in 1830 to 25 per cent. in 1840), the attribution to Buxton (p. 174), and the context of mortality on the middle passage.
  • qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is faithful to the passage across all qualifiers. Viewpoint correctly attributes to Buxton (cited as source), stance is 'asserts' (appropriate for factual claim), sentiment is 'negative' (fitting the critical context of increased mortality and cruelty), time is accurate (1830-1840), and the quote is verbatim from the passage. Minor note: context is empty, which is acceptable as the passage does not restrict this to a particular sense or role. One very slight consideration: the claim's 'object' field lists only '25 per cent' rather than the full range 'from 8 per cent to 25 per cent', which is a structural detail but the claim statement itself captures both figures correctly through the predicate.
