The contrast with "absolute demand" and the coach example provide concrete boundaries

rationale: This concept is directly from Smith's text in Book I, Chapter 7, where

he explicitly contrasts effectual demand with absolute demand using the poor man

rationale: Effectual demand has some relevance to S4 (intelligence/environmental

but it's primarily a market-level concept that doesn't map cleanly to organizational

max_value: 5.0
|
|
rationale: This concept provides crucial explanatory power for understanding how

market prices are determined and why some potential demands don't translate into
|
|
actual market activity. It illuminates the fundamental mechanism distinguishing
|
|
effective market signals from mere wants.
