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

name value max_value rationale
definition_precision 4.0 5.0 The definition is precise and captures a distinct historical phenomenon - trade associations operating without formal incorporation but with tacit royal tolerance in exchange for fines. The concept is well-bounded and non-circular, clearly distinguishing these entities from legitimate guilds.
name value max_value rationale
source_grounding 4.0 5.0 This appears well-grounded in Smith's actual discussion of medieval corporate privileges and royal prerogatives in Book I, Chapter 10. The connection to rent-seeking behavior accurately reflects Smith's analysis of how institutional arrangements served private rather than public interests.
name value max_value rationale
domain_placement 5.0 5.0 The "Regulation" domain is perfectly appropriate, as adulterine guilds represent a regulatory phenomenon - quasi-legal entities operating in the gap between formal incorporation and complete prohibition. This fits squarely within discussions of institutional regulation and corporate privileges.
name value max_value rationale
vsm_relevance 3.0 5.0 This entity has moderate VSM relevance, potentially mapping to S3 (internal regulation) as an example of how regulatory systems can be corrupted or co-opted. However, it's primarily a historical example rather than a structural cybernetic component, making the VSM connection somewhat indirect.
name value max_value rationale
explanatory_value 4.0 5.0 The entity provides strong explanatory value by illuminating a specific mechanism of rent-seeking and institutional capture that supports Smith's broader theoretical arguments. It demonstrates how regulatory arrangements can serve extractive rather than protective functions, adding concrete historical depth to abstract economic principles.

Evaluation: Adulterine Guilds

definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0

The definition is precise and captures a distinct historical phenomenon - trade associations operating without formal incorporation but with tacit royal tolerance in exchange for fines. The concept is well-bounded and non-circular, clearly distinguishing these entities from legitimate guilds.

source_grounding — 4.0 / 5.0

This appears well-grounded in Smith's actual discussion of medieval corporate privileges and royal prerogatives in Book I, Chapter 10. The connection to rent-seeking behavior accurately reflects Smith's analysis of how institutional arrangements served private rather than public interests.

domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0

The "Regulation" domain is perfectly appropriate, as adulterine guilds represent a regulatory phenomenon - quasi-legal entities operating in the gap between formal incorporation and complete prohibition. This fits squarely within discussions of institutional regulation and corporate privileges.

vsm_relevance — 3.0 / 5.0

This entity has moderate VSM relevance, potentially mapping to S3 (internal regulation) as an example of how regulatory systems can be corrupted or co-opted. However, it's primarily a historical example rather than a structural cybernetic component, making the VSM connection somewhat indirect.

explanatory_value — 4.0 / 5.0

The entity provides strong explanatory value by illuminating a specific mechanism of rent-seeking and institutional capture that supports Smith's broader theoretical arguments. It demonstrates how regulatory arrangements can serve extractive rather than protective functions, adding concrete historical depth to abstract economic principles.
