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 specifies the exclusive commercial privileges between Britain and its colonies, with concrete details about supplying European commodities and geographical trade restrictions. It avoids circularity and captures a distinct institutional arrangement rather than a vague concept.
name value max_value rationale
source_grounding 5.0 5.0 This entity is directly grounded in Book IV, Chapter 4, which extensively examines colonial trade restrictions and monopolistic practices. The context accurately reflects Smith's analysis of how these monopolies functioned and were circumvented in practice.
name value max_value rationale
domain_placement 5.0 5.0 "Exchange" is the correct domain placement, as this entity fundamentally concerns trade relationships, commercial privileges, and market access restrictions. The monopoly directly governs how exchange occurs between Britain and its colonies.
name value max_value rationale
vsm_relevance 3.0 5.0 This entity has some VSM relevance as it represents a regulatory mechanism (S3) that attempts to control colonial economic activity, but it's primarily a historical institutional arrangement rather than a clear organizational system component. It operates more as an external constraint on viable systems than as an internal VSM element.
name value max_value rationale
explanatory_value 4.0 5.0 The entity provides strong explanatory value by illuminating the structural mechanism of how imperial powers attempted to extract economic benefits from colonies and how market forces resisted such controls. It reveals important dynamics about the tension between regulatory intent and actual market behavior.

Evaluation: Colonial Trade Monopoly

definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0

The definition clearly specifies the exclusive commercial privileges between Britain and its colonies, with concrete details about supplying European commodities and geographical trade restrictions. It avoids circularity and captures a distinct institutional arrangement rather than a vague concept.

source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0

This entity is directly grounded in Book IV, Chapter 4, which extensively examines colonial trade restrictions and monopolistic practices. The context accurately reflects Smith's analysis of how these monopolies functioned and were circumvented in practice.

domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0

"Exchange" is the correct domain placement, as this entity fundamentally concerns trade relationships, commercial privileges, and market access restrictions. The monopoly directly governs how exchange occurs between Britain and its colonies.

vsm_relevance — 3.0 / 5.0

This entity has some VSM relevance as it represents a regulatory mechanism (S3) that attempts to control colonial economic activity, but it's primarily a historical institutional arrangement rather than a clear organizational system component. It operates more as an external constraint on viable systems than as an internal VSM element.

explanatory_value — 4.0 / 5.0

The entity provides strong explanatory value by illuminating the structural mechanism of how imperial powers attempted to extract economic benefits from colonies and how market forces resisted such controls. It reveals important dynamics about the tension between regulatory intent and actual market behavior.
