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):

entity_slug: sovereign_parsimony
evaluator: null
evaluated_at: '2026-02-23T06:23:15.686041'
overall_score: 4.2
scores:
- name: definition_precision
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The definition clearly distinguishes sovereign parsimony as a specific
practice of rulers accumulating treasure through frugality, contrasted with spending.
It captures a distinct historical phenomenon rather than being vague or circular.
- name: source_grounding
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity is directly grounded in Smith's observations in Book IV,
Chapter 1 about how European princes no longer accumulate treasure as their predecessors
did and his analysis of why this practice has changed in commercial societies.
- name: domain_placement
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The "Accumulation" domain is perfectly appropriate since this concept
deals specifically with the accumulation of treasure/wealth by sovereigns. This
is fundamentally about capital formation and saving at the state level.
- name: vsm_relevance
value: 3.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity has some VSM relevance as it relates to S4 (intelligence/environmental
adaptation) in how governments prepare for contingencies, and S5 (identity/policy)
in terms of state financial strategy. However, it's more of a historical practice
than an active systemic function.
- name: explanatory_value
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The entity provides genuine explanatory value by illuminating how state
financial strategies have evolved with economic development, showing the structural
relationship between commercial development and government resource management.
It explains a mechanism of state adaptation to changing economic conditions.
