judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage: 'Another competent agricultural authority states that the price of 2¼ tons of dry root for the acre, at 12_l._ per ton, would be 27_l.; deducting 7_l._ for rent, labour, and other expenses, this would leave a profit of 20_l._ per acre.'
- qualifier_fidelity 0.80 pass — All qualifiers are faithful except for the quote, which is slightly altered but still supports the claim. The viewpoint ('author') matches the source (another competent agricultural authority), stance ('asserts') correctly reflects the passage's assertion, sentiment remains neutral, time qualifiers are appropriately null as no specific temporal scope is given, and context is empty because the passage does not restrict the claim to a particular sense or role. The quote should be verbatim: 'deducting 7_l._ for rent, labour, and other expenses, this would leave a profit of 20_l._ per acre.'
