judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The opening sentence explicitly states 'The profit thus obtained constituted a working fund,' which precisely matches the subject-predicate-object structure of the claim that the sugar cartel obtained profit that constituted a working fund.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (passage presents this as explanatory narrative without attribution to a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. Sentiment is neutral, matching the objective, technical tone. Time qualifiers are correctly null as the passage provides no temporal scope. Context is empty, which is appropriate as no specific sense restriction is given. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim that the sugar cartel's profit was used as a working fund.
