A retailer's expense of doing business is proportionately much greater than that of the wholesaler
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the opening sentence of the passage: 'A retailer's expense of doing business is proportionately much greater than that of the wholesaler.' The wording is a straightforward match with minimal rewording.
- 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 the author's assertion without naming a specific source). The stance of 'asserts' is appropriate as the passage states this as a fact without dispute or questioning. The sentiment is neutral, matching the factual, non-evaluative tone of the passage. The time qualifiers are correctly null since the passage provides no temporal scope. The context is appropriately empty as the claim applies generally to retailers and wholesalers without restricting to a specific sense or role. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
