The business was incorporated in 1897
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The business was incorporated in 1897.' The subject (Tone Bros.), predicate (incorporated), and object (1897) are all explicitly mentioned with no rewording or inference required.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as factual information without attribution to a named source). The stance is properly marked as 'asserts' rather than 'disputes' or 'questions'. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's neutral presentation. The time qualifiers are accurate: 'when' is 1897, 'valid_from' is 1897, and 'valid_to' is null (no end date provided). The context is empty, which is appropriate as the passage does not restrict this claim to a specific sense or role. The quote 'The business was incorporated in 1897' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
The business is now (1922) carried on by W.E. and Jay E. Tone
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 0.85 pass — The claim is substantially supported by the passage. The passage explicitly states 'The business is now (1922) carried on by W.E. and Jay E. Tone.' While the claim mentions only W.E. Tone rather than both W.E. and Jay E. Tone, this is a minor incompleteness rather than a factual error, and W.E. Tone is indeed stated as one of the parties carrying on the business in 1922.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is mostly faithful to the passage. The quote is verbatim and accurate, the perspective, stance, sentiment, and time qualifiers all match the passage correctly. However, there is a minor issue with the object: the passage states the business was 'carried on by W.E. and Jay E. Tone' (both individuals), but the claim names only 'W.E. Tone' as the object. This is a partial representation of the actual parties responsible. The quote supports both W.E. and Jay E. Tone as operators, so the object should ideally reflect both or use a construction that captures the joint operation.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The text explicitly states 'The business is now (1922) carried on by W.E. and Jay E. Tone,' which directly supports that Tone Bros. was carried on by Jay E. Tone in 1922.
- 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 passage's straightforward presentation, sentiment is neutral, the time qualifier correctly reflects '1922' as stated in the passage with '(1922)' in parentheses, context is appropriately empty as none is specified, and the quote appears verbatim and directly supports the claim about who carries on the Tone Bros. business.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'Jekiel and Isaac E. Tone began the business of Tone Bros. at Des Moines, Iowa, in March, 1873.' All details (subject, predicate, object, and time) are explicitly supported by the text.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself states the fact). The stance is properly marked as 'asserts' since the passage presents this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective tone. The time qualifier correctly specifies March 1873 with normalized dates in valid_from. The context is appropriately empty since the passage provides no restricting sense or role for the business. The quote is verbatim from the passage and directly supports the claim that Jekiel Tone (along with Isaac E. Tone) began Tone Bros. in March 1873.
