- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says 'the New York Coffee Exchange decided that, after June 1, 1912, it would abolish all grades of coffee under the Exchange type No. 8,' matching the subject, predicate, object, and temporal specification of the claim exactly.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly identified as 'author' (the passage itself makes the assertion, not attributing it to a named source). The stance 'asserts' is appropriate for a straightforward factual statement. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifier correctly reflects the temporal scope given in the passage ('after June 1, 1912'), with appropriate normalization to 1912-06-01 and null for valid_to since no end date is specified.

In 1881, the New York Coffee Exchange was incorporated
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage's opening sentence: 'In 1881, the New York Coffee Exchange was incorporated.' All elements (subject, predicate, time) are explicitly supported without requiring outside knowledge or generalization.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (no named source is specified in the passage). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states the fact directly. The sentiment is neutral, matching the factual tone.

beginning business the year following at Beaver and Pearl Streets
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'In 1881, the New York Coffee Exchange was incorporated, beginning business the year following at Beaver and Pearl Streets.' The subject, predicate, and object are all explicitly mentioned with the correct temporal reference (1882, 'the year following' 1881).
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. Viewpoint, stance, sentiment, context, and quote are all accurate. The time qualifier is appropriate: 'when' correctly captures 'the year following' (after 1881), and 'valid_from' is correctly normalized to 1882. However, there is a minor issue: the passage does not explicitly attribute this information to a named source, so 'author' as viewpoint is acceptable, but the passage's phrasing ('beginning business the year following') is slightly informal compared to the claim's more formal structure. This is a very minor stylistic consideration and does not constitute a substantial qualifier fidelity issue.

The Coffee Exchange began an investigation, but nothing ever came of it
judge verdicts (2)

The claim accurately reflects this statement with only minor rewording of the object.

The time qualifiers are correctly set to null since the passage provides no specific date. The context is appropriately empty. The quote is verbatim from the passage and accurately supports the claim.

eleven years treasurer, and twenty-six years on the board of governors of the New York Coffee Exchange
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage states that James H. Taylor 'has been five years president, eleven years treasurer, and twenty-six years on the board of governors of the New York Coffee Exchange,' which directly supports the claim that he served as treasurer for eleven years. The phrasing is slightly different from the claim's predicate format, but the information is clearly stated in the passage.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.40 fail — Multiple qualifier issues: (1) TIME: The passage states he was 'eleven years treasurer' (a duration in the past), not that he served until 1922 - valid_to should be null or left unspecified since no end date is given. (2) CONTEXT: The context field should describe the role/organization context, not repeat the time duration 'eleven years'. (3) QUOTE: While 'eleven years treasurer' appears in the passage, the claim 'is treasurer of' misrepresents the tense - the passage indicates past service, not current status. The passage says he 'has been...eleven years treasurer' (among other roles), suggesting these are historical durations, not current positions.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The passage directly states that James H. Taylor was 'eleven years treasurer' of the New York Coffee Exchange, making this claim fully supported by the text without any rewording or inference required.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote accurately appears verbatim and supports the predicate. However, the 'time' qualifier has a minor issue: the passage states "eleven years treasurer" without specifying when this period occurred relative to the writing date (1922). The claim's time object uses 'when': 'eleven years' with both valid_from and valid_to as null, which is appropriate given the passage provides no specific dates. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to 'author' since the passage itself makes this statement without attribution to a named source. All other qualifiers (stance, sentiment, context, quote) are faithful to the passage.
twenty-six years on the board of governors of the New York Coffee Exchange
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage, which explicitly states that James H. Taylor 'has been five years president, eleven years treasurer, and twenty-six years on the board of governors of the New York Coffee Exchange.' The subject, predicate, and object are all directly stated without requiring outside knowledge or over-generalization.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.50 fail — Multiple qualifier issues: (1) VIEWPOINT - the claim uses 'author' but the passage does not attribute this statement to a named source; it is factual information presented by the author, so viewpoint should be null or reflect the author's direct assertion, not labeled as 'author'. (2) TIME - the 'when' field should represent a duration (twenty-six years), but 'valid_to: 1922' is problematic because the passage states this is written 'at the time of writing (1922)' and Taylor 'is still active' - the valid_to date conflates the writing date with the end of his tenure, which is not established. The time qualifier should either capture the duration without a specific end date, or acknowledge the passage does not provide a precise end date. (3) CONTEXT - should be null or empty since the passage does not restrict the claim to a specific sense or role; 'twenty-six years' is a temporal descriptor, not a context qualifier. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim accurately.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'He has been five years president, eleven years treasurer, and twenty-six years on the board of governors of the New York Coffee Exchange.' The subject (James H. Taylor), predicate (is on board of governors of), and object (New York Coffee Exchange) with the time specification (twenty-six years) are all explicitly supported by the text.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. All qualifiers are appropriate: viewpoint as 'author' is correct (passage makes the statement, not attributing to a named source), stance 'asserts' matches the passage's declarative framing, sentiment is neutral as appropriate, and the quote is verbatim. The time qualifier correctly captures the duration ('twenty-six years') with null dates since the passage provides no specific absolute dates. Context is empty, which is appropriate as the passage doesn't restrict the claim to a particular sense. Minor deduction (0.1) for the time representation: while 'twenty-six years' accurately reflects the passage, the claim could be more precise by noting this is presented as a duration at the time of writing (1922), though this is a minor issue given the passage itself uses relative duration language.

The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (passage narrative), the stance is 'asserts' which matches the passage's straightforward presentation, the sentiment is appropriately positive given the context of 'honored names' and 'important factor', the time qualifier correctly reflects 'for twelve years' with null valid_from and valid_to dates (as no specific dates are given), the context is appropriately empty as none is needed, and the quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'A. Kirkland, one of the incorporators of the New York Coffee Exchange' appears verbatim, confirming that A. Kirkland was indeed one of the incorporators of the New York Coffee Exchange.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote is accurate and verbatim. However, the viewpoint qualifier should be 'author' (correctly stated) since the passage itself makes this assertion without attributing it to a named source—the passage is the author of this statement. The stance 'asserts' and sentiment 'neutral' are appropriate. Time qualifiers (all null) correctly reflect that the passage provides no temporal information. Context is correctly empty. The only minor issue is confirmation that 'viewpoint: author' is indeed correct here, which it is. All qualifiers are faithful to the passage.
John S. Wright, one of the incorporators of the New York Coffee Exchange
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly identifies 'John S. Wright' as 'one of the incorporators of the New York Coffee Exchange,' which directly supports the subject-predicate-object relationship claimed.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint should technically be 'passage' or 'unnamed author' rather than 'author' since no specific named source attributes this statement, but the claim accurately reflects the passage's assertion. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. Stance is correct as 'asserts', sentiment is neutral, time qualifiers are appropriately null, and context is empty as the passage provides none. Minor deduction only for the viewpoint label which could be more precise.
B.G. Arnold was the first president
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'B.G. Arnold was the first president.' The subject (Benjamin Green Arnold, identified as B.G. Arnold), predicate (was first president of), and object (New York Coffee Exchange) are all explicitly supported without any rewording or inference needed.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.80 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all appropriate and consistent with how the passage presents the information. The quote is verbatim and accurate. However, there is a minor issue with the time qualifier: the passage states Arnold was the first president following the incorporation on December 7, 1881, but the claim's 'when' is null while 'valid_from' is 1881. For full fidelity, since the passage provides a specific incorporation date (December 7, 1881), the 'when' should reflect this rather than being null, or the 'valid_from' should use the specific date. The context field is appropriately empty as the passage provides no restricting sense or role qualifier.
B.G. Arnold was the first president of the New York Coffee Exchange
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the opening sentence of the passage: 'B.G. Arnold was the first president of the New York Coffee Exchange.' This is a straightforward factual assertion with no rewording or interpretation needed.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage makes this assertion directly without attributing it to a named source). The stance is correctly marked as 'asserts' - the passage states this as fact. Sentiment is neutral, which matches the straightforward, factual presentation in the passage. The time qualifiers are appropriately null since the passage provides no specific date for when he became first president. Context is empty as the passage provides no restricting sense or role. The quote appears verbatim in the opening sentence and directly supports the claim.
- demoralized market conditions furnished principal impetus for organization of New York Coffee Exchange 1881
the utterly demoralized conditions prevailing while this collapse was in progress, and the practical elimination of a market in the true sense of the word, furnished the principal impetus for the organization of the New York Coffee Exchange
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage with the exact quote provided. The passage explicitly asserts that 'the utterly demoralized conditions prevailing while this collapse was in progress, and the practical elimination of a market in the true sense of the word, furnished the principal impetus for the organization of the New York Coffee Exchange,' and confirms the Exchange was organized in December 1881 and started business in March 1882.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is mostly faithful to the passage. The quote is verbatim and the core assertion about demoralized conditions furnishing impetus for the Exchange's organization is accurate. However, the time qualifier is slightly imprecise: the passage states the Exchange was 'organized in December, 1881, and started business in March, 1882,' so valid_to should be 1882 or more precisely March 1882, which you have correct. The 'when' value of 1881 is acceptable as it marks the organizational period, though the impetus context spans the earlier collapse period. Viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all appropriate—the passage presents this as historical fact without attribution to a specific named source, so 'author' is correct.
