  judge verdicts (4)

  • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says 'In the re-export trade, shipments of coffee were lower than in several years' and supports this with specific data showing declining amounts from 1919 (81,129,641 pounds) to 1920 (49,144,091 pounds) to 1921 (36,804,684 pounds).
  • qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — TIME qualifier is unfaithful. The claim's time.when is set to '1921' with valid_from and valid_to both '1921', but the passage statement 'shipments of coffee were lower than in several years' explicitly compares 1921 to multiple prior years (1920 and 1919 are detailed, with reference to 'several years'). The temporal scope should reflect the comparative nature across multiple years, not be restricted to 1921 alone. Additionally, the CONTEXT qualifier is imprecise: it should specify that this concerns 1921 data specifically, not just the generic string '1921' - the context should clarify the specific comparison being made across the years mentioned.
  • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly states 'In the re-export trade, shipments of coffee were lower than in several years' and provides supporting data showing total amounts declining from 81,129,641 pounds in 1919 to 49,144,091 pounds in 1920 to 36,804,684 pounds in 1921.
  • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as factual reporting). The stance is correctly 'asserts' (not disputed or questioned). The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective presentation. The time qualifier accurately reflects the comparison made in the passage (1921 compared to prior years, with specific data for 1920 and 1919 provided). The context correctly specifies 're-export trade' as the passage explicitly restricts this claim to that domain. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim.
