There were 157 original shareholders
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'There were 157 original shareholders.' The sentence explicitly provides the exact number of original shareholders for the Tontine Coffee House organized in 1791.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (unnamed narrator), the stance is accurately 'asserts', sentiment is neutral as appropriate for a factual statement, the time period of 1791 matches when 'some 150 merchants organized' the Tontine coffee house, and the quote 'There were 157 original shareholders' appears verbatim in the passage. No context restriction is needed as the passage makes no limiting qualification. The claim accurately reflects the passage.
203 shares of stock valued at L200 each
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'There were 157 original shareholders, and 203 shares of stock valued at L200 each.' The subject, predicate, and object all match the source text exactly without requiring outside knowledge or over-generalization.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The quote appears verbatim and supports the predicate about stock value. The viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are all appropriate. The time qualifier (1791) correctly reflects when the Tontine coffee house was organized and the shares were established. One minor note: The passage states "There were 157 original shareholders, and 203 shares of stock valued at L200 each," so while 203 shares is correct, the claim doesn't specify that 157 shareholders held 203 shares total (not 203 each). However, this is a reasonable interpretation of the passage's statement about the shares' value. The context is appropriately empty as the passage provides no specific contextual restrictions on this financial detail.

judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'some 150 merchants organized, in 1791, the Tontine coffee house.' All elements (subject, predicate, object, and date) are explicitly 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 (the passage itself makes this assertion, not a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this directly. The sentiment is neutral, matching the factual tone of the passage. The time qualifiers (when: 1791, valid_from: 1791, valid_to: 1791) match the passage's temporal scope. The context is empty, which is appropriate as the passage does not restrict this claim to a particular sense or role. The quote 'some 150 merchants organized, in 1791, the Tontine coffee house' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
