in Britain tea smuggling thrived until the repeal of tea's tax in 1785
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage with identical wording: 'in Britain tea smuggling thrived until the repeal of tea's tax in 1785.' All elements—subject, predicate, object, and timeframe—are explicitly supported without any rewording required.
- 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 attributing it to a named source). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the declarative framing. The sentiment is neutral, appropriate for a factual historical statement. The time qualifier correctly captures the temporal scope ('until 1785') with valid_to set to 1785 and valid_from as null, since the passage does not specify when smuggling began. The context is empty as the passage provides no restrictive sense or role qualifier. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim.
