judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The opening sentence explicitly states 'Exports of coffee were more than 7,500,000 pounds in 1897' for the Somaliland Protectorate, matching all elements of the claim including subject, predicate, object, and temporal specificity.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself makes this assertion without attributing it to a named source). The stance of 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective reporting style. The time qualifiers correctly specify 1897 as both when and the valid date range for this specific export figure. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a particular sense or role. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
since then, there has been a steady decline

- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says 'Exports of coffee were more than 7,500,000 pounds in 1897...But since then, there has been a steady decline; and in 1918 only about 440,000 pounds were shipped,' which fully supports the assertion that Somaliland Protectorate experienced declining coffee exports since 1897.
- 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 narrative without attribution to a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. Sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifier 'since 1897' is accurate - the passage states 'since then' immediately after mentioning 1897, establishing this as the reference point. Context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict coffee to a particular sense or role. The quote 'since then, there has been a steady decline' appears verbatim and directly supports the claim.
