A retailer's expense of doing business is proportionately much greater than that of the wholesaler
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the opening sentence of the passage: 'A retailer's expense of doing business is proportionately much greater than that of the wholesaler.' The wording is a straightforward match with minimal rewording.
- 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 the author's assertion without naming a specific source). The stance of 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage states this as a fact without dispute or questioning. The sentiment is neutral, matching the factual, non-evaluative tone of the passage. The time qualifiers are correctly null since the passage provides no temporal scope. The context is appropriately empty as the claim applies generally to retailers and wholesalers without restricting to a specific sense or role. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.

Every retailer must, as a rule, meet this unfair competition or lose his trade

- groundedness 0.85 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The exact quote 'Every retailer must, as a rule, meet this unfair competition or lose his trade' appears verbatim in the text, establishing that retailers must meet unfair competition or lose their trade. The only minor deviation is the condensed phrasing 'unfair competition trade' versus the original 'unfair competition or lose his trade,' but the core meaning is fully preserved.
- 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 general observation, not attributed to a named source). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the declarative nature of the statement. The sentiment 'negative' is appropriate given the framing of 'unfair competition' and the threat of losing trade. The time qualifiers are all null, which is correct as the passage provides no specific temporal scope. The context is empty, which is appropriate as the passage does not restrict this to a particular sense or role. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about retailers needing to meet unfair competition or lose their trade.
