Spot brokers are those who deal in actual coffee
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage with the exact quote 'Spot brokers are those who deal in actual coffee,' making it fully grounded in the text without any added interpretation or outside knowledge.
- 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 attribution to a named source). The stance is accurately marked as 'asserts' since the passage states this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's factual tone. The time qualifiers are appropriately null since the passage provides no temporal restriction on this definition. The context 'in actual coffee trading' accurately reflects the passage's phrase 'actual coffee.' The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'the seller paying a commission of about fifteen cents a bag in small lots.' This matches the claim's subject (spot brokers), predicate (charge commission of), object (about fifteen cents a bag), and context (in small lots) without any rewording or outside knowledge required.
- 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 information). The stance is appropriately marked as 'asserts' with neutral sentiment. The time is correctly set to null since the passage provides no specific temporal restriction on this rule (the 1922 date in the passage refers to the stamp tax, not this broker commission). The context properly specifies 'in small lots' as stated in the passage. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim about spot brokers' commission structure.
half of one percent in large lots
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly says spot brokers receive 'a commission of about fifteen cents a bag in small lots, and half of one percent in large lots,' which directly supports the claim that spot brokers charge half of one percent commission in large lots.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is nearly fully faithful to the passage. All qualifiers are appropriate: viewpoint is correctly attributed to 'author' (the passage presents this as factual information), stance is 'asserts' (not disputed), sentiment is neutral, time is null (the passage gives no temporal restriction beyond the 1922 date context), and context correctly specifies 'in large lots'. The quote appears verbatim in the passage. Minor deduction: the temporal framing could note that this refers to conditions "at present (1922)" as stated in the passage opening, though the claim's null time value is acceptable given the passage doesn't restrict this specific rule to a particular period.
