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 precious metals as universal instruments of commerce and specifies their key characteristics (universal acceptance, small bulk relative to value, stability during transport). It avoids circularity and captures a distinct concept about why certain commodities become preferred media for international exchange.
name value max_value rationale
source_grounding 5.0 5.0 This entity is well-grounded in Smith's actual discussion in Book IV, Chapter 6, where he explicitly analyzes why gold and silver have become the preferred media for international trade due to their specific physical and economic properties. The concept directly reflects Smith's reasoning about the evolution of international commerce.
name value max_value rationale
domain_placement 5.0 5.0 The "Exchange" domain is perfectly appropriate for this entity, as it deals fundamentally with the mechanisms and media that facilitate trade transactions. The concept sits at the core of exchange theory, addressing how certain commodities become universally accepted facilitators of commerce.
name value max_value rationale
vsm_relevance 3.0 5.0 This entity has moderate VSM relevance, potentially mapping to S1 (as operational infrastructure for trade) or S4 (as adaptive mechanisms that evolved to solve international commerce challenges). However, it's primarily a descriptive concept about trade media rather than a clear organizational system component.
name value max_value rationale
explanatory_value 4.0 5.0 The entity provides strong explanatory value by illuminating the structural mechanism behind why certain commodities become dominant in international trade. It explains the functional relationship between physical properties (portability, durability) and economic utility in facilitating complex international exchanges.

Evaluation: Universal Instruments Of Commerce

definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0

The definition clearly identifies precious metals as universal instruments of commerce and specifies their key characteristics (universal acceptance, small bulk relative to value, stability during transport). It avoids circularity and captures a distinct concept about why certain commodities become preferred media for international exchange.

source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0

This entity is well-grounded in Smith's actual discussion in Book IV, Chapter 6, where he explicitly analyzes why gold and silver have become the preferred media for international trade due to their specific physical and economic properties. The concept directly reflects Smith's reasoning about the evolution of international commerce.

domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0

The "Exchange" domain is perfectly appropriate for this entity, as it deals fundamentally with the mechanisms and media that facilitate trade transactions. The concept sits at the core of exchange theory, addressing how certain commodities become universally accepted facilitators of commerce.

vsm_relevance — 3.0 / 5.0

This entity has moderate VSM relevance, potentially mapping to S1 (as operational infrastructure for trade) or S4 (as adaptive mechanisms that evolved to solve international commerce challenges). However, it's primarily a descriptive concept about trade media rather than a clear organizational system component.

explanatory_value — 4.0 / 5.0

The entity provides strong explanatory value by illuminating the structural mechanism behind why certain commodities become dominant in international trade. It explains the functional relationship between physical properties (portability, durability) and economic utility in facilitating complex international exchanges.
