  enabling the spread of coffee cultivation to Saint-Domingue (Haiti), Mexico and other islands of the Caribbean

  judge verdicts (4)

  • groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage directly states that coffee spread from Martinique to Saint-Domingue, Mexico and other Caribbean islands following the flourishing of seedlings brought there in 1720. The time frame 'after 1770' is supported since the passage indicates Saint-Domingue cultivation began in 1734 and Mexico is implied to be part of this spread after Martinique was established ~50 years post-1720.
  • qualifier_fidelity 0.50 fail — Two qualifier issues: (1) TIME - The passage states this spread occurred within 50 years of 1720, placing it around 1770, and then specifically notes Saint-Domingue cultivation 'starting in 1734', which contradicts 'after 1770'. The valid_from should be 1720 or immediately thereafter, not 1770. (2) CONTEXT - The claim lacks necessary context distinguishing this as the early colonial period of coffee spread, whereas the passage later discusses 19th-century cultivation in other contexts with very different social/economic implications. The empty context field conflates different historical periods of coffee cultivation.
  • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says that the flourishing coffee sprouts in Martinique (by 1770, 50 years after 1720) enabled 'the spread of coffee cultivation to Saint-Domingue (Haiti), Mexico and other islands of the Caribbean,' and further confirms that Saint-Domingue saw coffee cultivation starting in 1734.
  • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. Viewpoint: correctly attributed to 'author' as the passage itself makes the assertion without attribution to a named source. Stance: 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage straightforwardly states the spread occurred. Sentiment: 'neutral' matches the passage's factual presentation. Time: the temporal scope is accurate—the passage states 50 years after 1720 (yielding circa 1770) and specifically mentions Saint-Domingue starting in 1734, which aligns with the claim's valid_from and valid_to dates. Context: 'early colonial period, 18th century' appropriately reflects the passage's colonial framing and time period. Quote: appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim's predicate and object. No qualifier conflicts detected.
