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
  redundancy_ratio   0.0061  (max 0.10)
  coverage_ratio     0.6190  (min 0.40)
  coherence_comps    0.0000  (max 3)
  consistency_cycles 0.0000  (max 0)
  granularity_entropy 2.6748 (min 1.0)
  per_entity_mean    3.9556  (min 3.5)

Dimension breakdown (mean across 985 entities):

entity_slug: wholesale_trade
evaluator: null
evaluated_at: '2026-02-23T06:39:21.131398'
overall_score: 4.2
scores:
- name: definition_precision
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The definition clearly distinguishes wholesale from retail trade based
on quantity sold and customer type (businesses vs. consumers). It also captures
Smith's specific insight about the relationship between apparent profits and genuine
returns to capital.
- name: source_grounding
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity is directly grounded in Smith's analysis from Book I, Chapter
10, where he explicitly contrasts wholesale and retail trade to illustrate profit
differentials. The distinction between "apparent profits" and "genuine profits"
reflects Smith's actual argument about returns to capital.
- name: domain_placement
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: '"Exchange" is the correct domain placement, as wholesale trade is fundamentally
about the mechanisms and structures of market exchange. This fits perfectly within
Smith''s broader analysis of commercial systems and trade relationships.'
- name: vsm_relevance
value: 3.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: Wholesale trade maps reasonably well to S1 (primary operations) as a
core economic activity, but it's primarily a descriptive category of commercial
activity rather than a cybernetic function. It doesn't naturally align with the
regulatory or intelligence functions of higher VSM systems.
- name: explanatory_value
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: "This entity illuminates an important structural mechanism in Smith's\
\ economic theory\u2014how different forms of trade reflect different relationships\
\ between risk, capital, and profit. It helps explain the deeper logic behind\
\ apparent profit differentials across commercial employments."

# Evaluation: Wholesale Trade
## definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0
The definition clearly distinguishes wholesale from retail trade based on quantity sold and customer type (businesses vs. consumers). It also captures Smith's specific insight about the relationship between apparent profits and genuine returns to capital.
## source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0
This entity is directly grounded in Smith's analysis from Book I, Chapter 10, where he explicitly contrasts wholesale and retail trade to illustrate profit differentials. The distinction between "apparent profits" and "genuine profits" reflects Smith's actual argument about returns to capital.
## domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0
"Exchange" is the correct domain placement, as wholesale trade is fundamentally about the mechanisms and structures of market exchange. This fits perfectly within Smith's broader analysis of commercial systems and trade relationships.
## vsm_relevance — 3.0 / 5.0
Wholesale trade maps reasonably well to S1 (primary operations) as a core economic activity, but it's primarily a descriptive category of commercial activity rather than a cybernetic function. It doesn't naturally align with the regulatory or intelligence functions of higher VSM systems.
## explanatory_value — 4.0 / 5.0
This entity illuminates an important structural mechanism in Smith's economic theory—how different forms of trade reflect different relationships between risk, capital, and profit. It helps explain the deeper logic behind apparent profit differentials across commercial employments.
