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 4.0 5.0 The definition clearly identifies a specific behavioral tendency of merchants and manufacturers to use government power for monopolistic advantage. It avoids circularity and distinguishes this concept from general profit-seeking by focusing on the specific mechanism of securing government-backed exclusive privileges.
name value max_value rationale
source_grounding 5.0 5.0 This concept is directly grounded in Smith's analysis in Book IV, Chapter 3, where he explicitly discusses how private commercial interests invented mercantilist doctrines to secure monopolies and protection. Smith clearly identifies this as the driving force behind much mercantilist policy advocacy.
name value max_value rationale
domain_placement 5.0 5.0 The "Regulation" domain is perfectly appropriate since this entity specifically concerns how private interests manipulate government regulatory power to create monopolies. This is fundamentally about the intersection of private commercial behavior and regulatory capture.
name value max_value rationale
vsm_relevance 3.0 5.0 This entity has some VSM relevance as it represents a pathological relationship between S1 (commercial operations) and S5 (policy/identity), where private interests corrupt the policy-making function. However, it's more of a dysfunction pattern than a clear structural component of any single VSM system.
name value max_value rationale
explanatory_value 5.0 5.0 This entity provides excellent explanatory power by identifying the causal mechanism behind mercantilist policies—showing how private interests drive seemingly public policy doctrines. It illuminates the structural relationship between commercial self-interest and regulatory capture that Smith saw as fundamental to understanding mercantilism.

Evaluation: Private Interest Monopoly Spirit

definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0

The definition clearly identifies a specific behavioral tendency of merchants and manufacturers to use government power for monopolistic advantage. It avoids circularity and distinguishes this concept from general profit-seeking by focusing on the specific mechanism of securing government-backed exclusive privileges.

source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0

This concept is directly grounded in Smith's analysis in Book IV, Chapter 3, where he explicitly discusses how private commercial interests invented mercantilist doctrines to secure monopolies and protection. Smith clearly identifies this as the driving force behind much mercantilist policy advocacy.

domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0

The "Regulation" domain is perfectly appropriate since this entity specifically concerns how private interests manipulate government regulatory power to create monopolies. This is fundamentally about the intersection of private commercial behavior and regulatory capture.

vsm_relevance — 3.0 / 5.0

This entity has some VSM relevance as it represents a pathological relationship between S1 (commercial operations) and S5 (policy/identity), where private interests corrupt the policy-making function. However, it's more of a dysfunction pattern than a clear structural component of any single VSM system.

explanatory_value — 5.0 / 5.0

This entity provides excellent explanatory power by identifying the causal mechanism behind mercantilist policies—showing how private interests drive seemingly public policy doctrines. It illuminates the structural relationship between commercial self-interest and regulatory capture that Smith saw as fundamental to understanding mercantilism.
