judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The quoted text from the Tariff act of March 3, 1875 explicitly states that sugars above 10 D.S., not above 13 D.S. are subject to 2¼c plus 25 per cent duty, which matches the claim exactly.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author/passage itself rather than a named source. The stance of 'asserts' appropriately reflects how the passage presents the tariff information. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's factual tone. The time qualifier correctly identifies March 3, 1875 as the tariff act date with valid_from matching the passage date and valid_to as null (no end date specified). The context accurately specifies 'under Tariff act March 3, 1875'. The quote matches verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim about the duty rate for this sugar category.
