tegwick a9ca0adfcf feat(example): add per-entity LLM evaluations for 985 WoN entities (S3.3)
Batch evaluation of all 988 entities via OpenRouter. 984 succeeded on
first pass; 3 failed (network errors). eval-summary --update-metrics
written with per_entity_mean=3.9556.

Viability dashboard: 6/6 PASS
  redundancy_ratio   0.0061  (max 0.10)
  coverage_ratio     0.6190  (min 0.40)
  coherence_comps    0.0000  (max 3)
  consistency_cycles 0.0000  (max 0)
  granularity_entropy 2.6748 (min 1.0)
  per_entity_mean    3.9556  (min 3.5)

Dimension breakdown (mean across 985 entities):

  domain_placement      4.56
  vsm_relevance         3.31

entity_slug: commercial_transactions
evaluator: null
evaluated_at: '2026-02-23T05:00:25.790666'
overall_score: 4.4
scores:
- name: definition_precision
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The definition clearly distinguishes commercial transactions from barter
by emphasizing money as the medium of exchange and positions them as the primary
mode of economic interaction in civilized societies. While precise, it could be
slightly more specific about what constitutes the transactional mechanism itself.
- name: source_grounding
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity is directly grounded in Smith's text from Book I, Chapter
4, where he explicitly discusses how money enables commercial transactions and
becomes "the universal instrument of commerce" in civilized nations. The historical
progression from barter to monetary exchange is a central theme in this chapter.
- name: domain_placement
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The "Exchange" domain is the perfect conceptual home for commercial transactions,
as they represent the fundamental mechanism by which exchange occurs in monetary
economies. This is precisely what the Exchange domain should encompass.
- name: vsm_relevance
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: Commercial transactions map naturally to S1 (primary operations) as they
represent the basic operational activities of an economic system, and potentially
to S2 (coordination) as they coordinate resource flows between actors. The entity
has clear VSM relevance rather than being too abstract.
- name: explanatory_value
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity illuminates the fundamental mechanism that enables complex
economic coordination in civilized societies and explains how money transforms
the nature of exchange from barter. It provides genuine insight into how economic
systems operate rather than merely labeling a surface phenomenon.
