judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact quote provided matches the passage text verbatim, confirming that plants are set out at regular intervals of 8-12 or even 14 feet apart during transplanting.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (passage uses descriptive, procedural language without naming a specific source). The stance of 'asserts' matches the declarative nature of the passage. The sentiment is neutral, consistent with the technical/instructional tone. The time qualifiers are appropriately null since the passage provides no temporal scope. The context is empty as appropriate, since the passage discusses a general horticultural procedure without restricting it to a specific sense or period. The quote appears verbatim and directly supports the claim about spacing intervals.
