judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage with the exact same wording and figures. The passage explicitly states that 'Santos 4s, which had sold at eight and one-quarter cents in May, were quoted at twenty and one-half cents by December 10.'
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage reports this as historical fact without attributing it to a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as a factual claim. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's objective reporting. The time qualifier correctly reflects 'by December 10' with the normalized date of 1918-12-10 being consistent with the historical context. The context is appropriately empty as no specific sense or role restriction applies. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about the price quotation.
