judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 0.85 pass — The claim is well-supported by the passage. The text explicitly states that sticks are thrust into the ground 'at such a distance that they design to plant the _Cocao-Trees_, which they represent,' directly confirming that sticks represent the position where cacao trees will be planted. The phrasing is nearly identical to the source material with only minor rewording.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — The viewpoint qualifier is unfaithful. The passage does not attribute this statement to 'author'; rather, it is a general, impersonal instructional text describing horticultural practice. The claim should either use 'null' for viewpoint or identify that no specific source is named. Additionally, the quote provided ('at such a distance that they design to plant the _Cocao-Trees_, which they represent') does not fully support the claim as stated—the passage says the sticks 'represent' the planned positions of cocao-trees, but the claim inverts this to 'stick represents position of cocao-tree,' which is a minor but distinct logical relation that the quote supports only partially.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The passage directly states that sticks are thrust into the ground 'at such a distance that they design to plant the Cocao-Trees, which they represent,' explicitly confirming that the sticks represent the planned locations of cacao trees in nursery preparation.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint correctly identifies this as instructional text (the passage is prescriptive guidance). The stance of 'asserts' matches the passage's direct instruction. The sentiment is neutral, consistent with the matter-of-fact instructional tone. The time qualifiers are all null, which is correct as the passage provides no temporal scope. The context 'in nursery preparation' accurately reflects the passage's scope. The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim that sticks represent the planned locations for cocao-trees.
