# VSM Mapping Schema v1.0

Schema definition for entity-to-VSM concept mapping documents.

## Required Sections

### Economic Entity Reference
The name and identifier of the economic entity being mapped.
Must correspond to an existing entity in the entities collection.

### VSM Concept Reference
The name and identifier of the VSM concept being mapped to.
Must correspond to an existing concept in the concepts collection.

### Mapping Rationale
A detailed explanation of why this economic entity maps to this VSM concept.
Should reference specific properties of both the entity and the concept
that justify the mapping (minimum 30 words).

### Mapping Strength
One of:
- **Strong**: Direct structural or functional correspondence
- **Moderate**: Clear conceptual parallel with some differences
- **Weak**: Loose analogy or partial overlap

## Optional Sections

### Counter-arguments
Reasons why this mapping might be contested or why the entity
might not fit the VSM concept perfectly.

### Alternative Mappings
Other VSM concepts this entity could plausibly map to,
with brief rationale for each alternative.

## Quality Metrics

Used by the `evaluate-entity` prompt template when assessing mapping quality.
Each dimension is scored 1–5, where 1 = very poor and 5 = excellent.

### Rationale Rigour (1-5)
Is the mapping justified with reference to Beer's VSM definitions, not just
surface-level analogy? A score of 5 means the rationale cites specific VSM
properties (e.g., "S2 attenuates variety between S1 units") and shows how
the economic entity fulfils that role. A score of 1 means the rationale is
a loose metaphor with no structural grounding.

### Strength Calibration (1-5)
Is the declared Mapping Strength (Strong, Moderate, Weak) consistent with
the rationale given? A score of 5 means the declared strength matches the
depth of correspondence described. A score of 1 means the strength is
overclaimed (e.g., "Strong" for a tangential analogy) or underclaimed
(e.g., "Weak" for a direct structural match).

## Validation Rules

1. The document MUST contain an H1 heading in the format "Entity Name -> VSM Concept Name".
2. The document MUST contain all four required sections: Economic Entity Reference, VSM Concept Reference, Mapping Rationale, Mapping Strength.
3. The Mapping Strength MUST be one of: Strong, Moderate, Weak.
4. The document MUST reference both an economic entity and a VSM concept.
