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)

  granularity_entropy 2.6748 (min 1.0)

entity_slug: benevolence
evaluator: null
evaluated_at: '2026-02-23T04:38:07.392725'
overall_score: 4.0
scores:
- name: definition_precision
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The definition clearly distinguishes benevolence as a natural human disposition
toward kindness/goodwill and precisely explains its limitation as an economic
organizing principle. It avoids circularity and captures Smith's specific argument
about why benevolence alone cannot sustain complex economic systems.
- name: source_grounding
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity is directly grounded in Smith's famous passage from Book
I, Chapter 2 about not expecting dinner from the butcher's benevolence but from
his self-interest. The contrast between benevolence and self-interest as economic
motivations is central to Smith's argument in this foundational chapter.
- name: domain_placement
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: '"General Theory" is the appropriate domain placement since benevolence
represents a fundamental theoretical concept in Smith''s framework for understanding
human motivation and economic organization. This is a core theoretical principle
rather than a specific economic mechanism or policy consideration.'
- name: vsm_relevance
value: 2.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: Benevolence is too abstract and philosophical to map naturally to specific
VSM systems, as it represents a general human disposition rather than an organizational
function. While it might tangentially relate to S5 (identity/values), it doesn't
correspond to any particular systemic operation within the VSM framework.
- name: explanatory_value
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity provides significant explanatory value by illuminating why
Smith argues self-interest rather than altruism forms the reliable foundation
for economic cooperation. It helps explain a crucial structural relationship in
Smith's theory about what makes market systems viable and sustainable.

# Evaluation: Benevolence
## definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0
The definition clearly distinguishes benevolence as a natural human disposition toward kindness/goodwill and precisely explains its limitation as an economic organizing principle. It avoids circularity and captures Smith's specific argument about why benevolence alone cannot sustain complex economic systems.
## source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0
This entity is directly grounded in Smith's famous passage from Book I, Chapter 2 about not expecting dinner from the butcher's benevolence but from his self-interest. The contrast between benevolence and self-interest as economic motivations is central to Smith's argument in this foundational chapter.
## domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0
"General Theory" is the appropriate domain placement since benevolence represents a fundamental theoretical concept in Smith's framework for understanding human motivation and economic organization. This is a core theoretical principle rather than a specific economic mechanism or policy consideration.
## vsm_relevance — 2.0 / 5.0
Benevolence is too abstract and philosophical to map naturally to specific VSM systems, as it represents a general human disposition rather than an organizational function.
