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

entity_slug: colony_assemblies
evaluator: null
evaluated_at: '2026-02-23T04:52:26.418250'
overall_score: 4.4
scores:
- name: definition_precision
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The definition clearly identifies colony assemblies as specific legislative
bodies with distinct characteristics (elected representatives, tax authority,
local regulation) and distinguishes them from other governmental forms. The definition
avoids circularity and captures the essential features that make these bodies
significant in Smith's analysis.
- name: source_grounding
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity is directly grounded in Smith's detailed discussion in Book
IV, Chapter 7, where he extensively analyzes colonial assemblies' role in taxation
and their relationship to imperial governance. Smith explicitly discusses their
claims to parliamentary-like powers and their resistance to external taxation.
- name: domain_placement
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The "Regulation" domain is perfectly appropriate, as colony assemblies
function as regulatory institutions that impose taxes, create local laws, and
govern colonial affairs. Their regulatory nature is central to Smith's analysis
of colonial administration and imperial fiscal policy.
- name: vsm_relevance
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: Colony assemblies map well to S3 (internal regulation) within the colonial
subsystem, as they audit and regulate local affairs, and potentially to S4 (intelligence)
as they gather local information for governance decisions. Their role as intermediary
regulatory bodies between local operations and imperial oversight gives them clear
VSM positioning.
- name: explanatory_value
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: "This entity illuminates a crucial structural mechanism in Smith's analysis\
\ of imperial governance\u2014how local legislative bodies create tension between\
\ colonial self-governance and imperial fiscal needs. It helps explain the systemic\
\ problems Smith identifies with colonial taxation and his proposed solution of\
\ parliamentary representation."

# Evaluation: Colony Assemblies
## definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0
The definition clearly identifies colony assemblies as specific legislative bodies with distinct characteristics (elected representatives, tax authority, local regulation) and distinguishes them from other governmental forms. The definition avoids circularity and captures the essential features that make these bodies significant in Smith's analysis.
## source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0
