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.

name value max_value rationale
definition_precision 3.0 5.0 The definition captures a coherent concept about how economic ideas spread, but "diffusion mechanisms" is somewhat vague and could encompass many different processes. The definition would benefit from more specificity about what constitutes these mechanisms beyond the general notion of spreading ideas and practices.
name value max_value rationale
source_grounding 2.0 5.0 While Smith does discuss the spread of mercantilist ideas and advocates for market-based approaches, he doesn't systematically theorize "diffusion mechanisms" as a distinct analytical category. This appears to impose modern diffusion theory concepts onto Smith's more contextual observations about policy persistence and change.
name value max_value rationale
domain_placement 4.0 5.0 "General Theory" is appropriate since this concept operates at a meta-level, examining how economic systems themselves propagate rather than focusing on specific market mechanisms or policy domains. The cross-contextual nature of diffusion fits well in this broad theoretical category.
name value max_value rationale
vsm_relevance 4.0 5.0 This entity maps well to S4 (intelligence/environmental adaptation) as it concerns how economic systems learn from and adapt to external environments by adopting practices from other contexts. It also relates to S5 (identity/policy) regarding how fundamental economic orientations spread and become institutionalized.
name value max_value rationale
explanatory_value 2.0 5.0 While the concept identifies an important phenomenon, it remains largely descriptive rather than explanatory—naming the fact that economic ideas spread without illuminating the specific mechanisms or structural relations that Smith actually analyzes. It adds limited insight beyond recognizing that diffusion occurs.

Evaluation: Economic System Diffusion Mechanisms

definition_precision — 3.0 / 5.0

The definition captures a coherent concept about how economic ideas spread, but "diffusion mechanisms" is somewhat vague and could encompass many different processes. The definition would benefit from more specificity about what constitutes these mechanisms beyond the general notion of spreading ideas and practices.

source_grounding — 2.0 / 5.0

While Smith does discuss the spread of mercantilist ideas and advocates for market-based approaches, he doesn't systematically theorize "diffusion mechanisms" as a distinct analytical category. This appears to impose modern diffusion theory concepts onto Smith's more contextual observations about policy persistence and change.

domain_placement — 4.0 / 5.0

"General Theory" is appropriate since this concept operates at a meta-level, examining how economic systems themselves propagate rather than focusing on specific market mechanisms or policy domains. The cross-contextual nature of diffusion fits well in this broad theoretical category.

vsm_relevance — 4.0 / 5.0

This entity maps well to S4 (intelligence/environmental adaptation) as it concerns how economic systems learn from and adapt to external environments by adopting practices from other contexts. It also relates to S5 (identity/policy) regarding how fundamental economic orientations spread and become institutionalized.

explanatory_value — 2.0 / 5.0

While the concept identifies an important phenomenon, it remains largely descriptive rather than explanatory—naming the fact that economic ideas spread without illuminating the specific mechanisms or structural relations that Smith actually analyzes. It adds limited insight beyond recognizing that diffusion occurs.
