scores:
- name: definition_precision
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: There is no definition provided at all, making it impossible to assess
    precision or conceptual distinctness. Without any definitional content, this entity
    fails to establish what "policy closure" means or how it differs from related
    concepts.
- name: source_grounding
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: With no definition, context, or source chapter specified, there is no
    evidence this entity is grounded in Smith's actual text. The term "policy closure"
    does not appear to be terminology that Smith himself would have used in The Wealth
    of Nations.
- name: domain_placement
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The domain is listed as "unspecified," providing no guidance on thematic
    or economic categorization. Without knowing what policy closure refers to, it's
    impossible to assess whether it belongs in trade, labor, capital, or another economic
    domain.
- name: vsm_relevance
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The term "policy" suggests potential relevance to S5 (identity/policy)
    in the VSM framework, but without a definition, the nature of "closure" and its
    systemic function remains unclear. This prevents meaningful VSM mapping beyond
    superficial keyword matching.
- name: explanatory_value
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: An undefined entity provides zero explanatory power and illuminates no
    mechanisms or structural relations. Without content, it cannot contribute to understanding
    either Smith's economic theory or its VSM interpretation.
