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

written with per_entity_mean=3.9556.

domain_placement 5.0 5.0 "General Theory" is the correct domain placement since this represents a fundamental theoretical framework about how international trade works. It's not a specific policy or mechanism but rather an overarching economic theory that Smith systematically dismantles.
name value max_value rationale
vsm_relevance 4.0 5.0 This maps well to S4 (intelligence/environmental adaptation) as it represents how nations conceptualize and respond to their external trade environment. It could also relate to S5 (identity/policy) since it shapes national economic identity and policy frameworks.

explanatory_value 5.0 5.0 This entity has high explanatory value as it illuminates the fundamental theoretical error Smith identifies in mercantilist thinking. Understanding this doctrine is essential for grasping Smith's critique of trade restrictions and his argument for mutual benefits from free trade.

Evaluation: Balance Of Trade Doctrine

definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0

The definition clearly captures the core mercantilist belief that trade surplus equals prosperity and that trade is zero-sum. It's precise and non-circular, though it could be slightly more specific about the mechanisms mercantilists believed drove this relationship.

source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0

This is directly grounded in Smith's text, as Book IV, Chapter 3 explicitly critiques the mercantilist balance of trade theory. Smith repeatedly refers to this doctrine and quotes the "national prejudice and animosity" phrase, making this a central concept he addresses.

domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0

"General Theory" is the correct domain placement since this represents a fundamental theoretical framework about how international trade works. It's not a specific policy or mechanism but rather an overarching economic theory that Smith systematically dismantles.

vsm_relevance — 4.0 / 5.0

This maps well to S4 (intelligence/environmental adaptation) as it represents how nations conceptualize and respond to their external trade environment. It could also relate to S5 (identity/policy) since it shapes national economic identity and policy frameworks.

explanatory_value — 5.0 / 5.0

This entity has high explanatory value as it illuminates the fundamental theoretical error Smith identifies in mercantilist thinking. Understanding this doctrine is essential for grasping Smith's critique of trade restrictions and his argument for mutual benefits from free trade.
