its bearing life is only about ten years
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The _robusta_ tree grows satisfactorily even at altitudes of less than 1,000 feet in some regions; but its bearing life is only about ten years, as compared with the thirty years of the _arabica_ at altitudes of from 3,000 to 4,000 feet.' The exact quote provided matches the passage.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself presents this information without attribution to a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as factual information. Sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifiers are correctly set to null since the passage provides no temporal scope. Context is empty, which is appropriate as the passage does not restrict this claim to a specific sense or period. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
That was the beginning of a losing price-war that lasted ten years
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact phrase 'a losing price-war that lasted ten years' appears in the text, confirming that the price-war predicate of 'lasted' with the object 'ten years' is fully supported without requiring outside knowledge or over-generalization.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (implicit narrator); the stance is 'asserts' which matches the declarative framing; the sentiment is 'negative' which aligns with the 'losing' characterization; time qualifiers are appropriately null since no specific dates are given for the price-war itself; context is empty as none is specified; and the quote appears verbatim and directly supports the claim about the ten-year duration.
The 1908 loan was to expire in ten years, in 1919
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The 1908 loan was to expire in ten years, in 1919.' The subject, predicate, and object are all explicitly mentioned with no rewording or interpretation required.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.80 pass — Qualifier fidelity is mostly faithful. Viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all correct. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. However, there is a minor issue with the time qualifiers: valid_to should be 1919 (when the loan expires), not 1918. The passage explicitly states 'The 1908 loan was to expire in ten years, in 1919,' so the expiration date in the claim should reflect 1919 as the endpoint, not 1918.
