in 1907-08 it was estimated at more than 20,000,000 pounds
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'in 1907-08 it was estimated at more than 20,000,000 pounds.' The subject (coffee), predicate (yield in), object (Nicaragua), time period (1907-08), and specific production figure are all explicitly mentioned without requiring outside knowledge or over-generalization.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage qualifiers. Viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all correct (author assertion, neutral tone). The time qualifier is accurate with proper normalization (1907-08 to 1907-1908). The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. The only minor issue is that the context field is empty when it could specify 'production' to be more precise about which sense of coffee yield is meant, but since the passage does not explicitly restrict the claim to a particular sense and the empty context is acceptable per the rubric, this is not a significant deduction.
