- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'Potato starch is more costly than corn starch.' This is an exact match with no rewording needed, making it fully grounded in the text.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (not a named source). The stance is accurately marked as 'asserts' since the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's neutral tone. The time qualifiers are correctly null since the passage provides no temporal scope. The context is empty as appropriate since the passage does not restrict this claim to a specific sense or role.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'Potato starch is more costly than corn starch, and, as it gives a softer finish to fabrics, is chiefly used by manufacturers.' The exact phrase 'gives a softer finish to fabrics' is quoted verbatim from the text.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.80 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote is verbatim and the core assertion is accurate. The viewpoint, stance, sentiment, and time qualifiers are all appropriate. However, the context qualifier is empty when it should note that this statement applies specifically to potato starch used by manufacturers in the laundry/textile industry, since the passage explicitly states 'is chiefly used by manufacturers' to distinguish it from corn starch applications. This contextual limitation should be captured.
