The southern Zen spread with marvelous rapidity
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The southern Zen spread with marvelous rapidity, and with it the tea-ritual and the tea-ideal of the Sung.' The exact phrasing appears verbatim, making this fully grounded in the text.
- 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 own statement, not attributed to a named source). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the declarative presentation. The sentiment 'positive' is appropriate given 'marvelous' is a positive descriptor. The time qualifier correctly reflects that this spreading occurred after 1191 when Yeisai-zenji returned. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the meaning to a particular sense. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage states 'The southern Zen spread with marvelous rapidity, and with it the tea-ritual and the tea-ideal of the Sung,' which directly supports that the tea-ritual and tea-ideal spread together with southern Zen. The claim accurately captures this relationship with minor rewording of the predicate.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.75 pass — The claim is mostly faithful to the passage. The quote appears verbatim and supports the claim. Viewpoint (author), stance (asserts), and sentiment (neutral) are all appropriate. The time qualifier 'after 1191' is faithful since the passage states 'The southern Zen spread with marvelous rapidity' in the context of Yeisai-zenji's return in 1191. However, the context field is empty when it should specify that this refers to Japan specifically, as the passage is discussing the spread of the tea-ritual and tea-ideal of the Sung within Japan, not globally. This is a minor issue but represents an unfaithful context qualifier.
