  judge verdicts (2)

  • groundedness 0.70 pass — The claim is substantially supported by the passage, which explicitly states 'a trade custom that had prevailed until then' in reference to the 1910 Board decision regarding calling Minas coffee Santos. The passage directly establishes that this trade custom existed until 1910, matching the claim's temporal assertion, though the phrasing involves minor rewording from the original text.
  • qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage does not cite a named source for this statement). The stance is correctly identified as 'asserts' and sentiment as 'neutral'. The time qualifier is accurate - the passage states the custom 'had prevailed until then' referring to 1910. The context correctly specifies 'calling Minas coffee Santos'. The quote is verbatim from the passage. Minor note: The claim could be more precise by noting the custom was 'of calling Minas coffee Santos when shipped through Santos, instead of Rio' but the essential context is captured. All qualifiers are faithful to the passage.
