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.

Evaluation: Colony Prosperity Mechanisms

definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0

The definition clearly identifies specific economic processes (land abundance, labor scarcity, agricultural-to-manufacturing progression) that drive colonial prosperity. It avoids circularity by explaining the mechanisms rather than simply restating that colonies prosper through "prosperity mechanisms."

source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0

This entity is well-grounded in Smith's actual analysis in Book V, Chapter 3, where he explicitly discusses how colonies develop through these specific conditions and natural economic progression. The concept directly reflects Smith's comparative analysis of colonial versus metropolitan development.

domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0

The "Accumulation" domain is perfectly appropriate, as Smith's discussion focuses on how colonies accumulate capital and develop economically through the described mechanisms. This is fundamentally about wealth accumulation processes in new territories.

vsm_relevance — 3.0 / 5.0

This entity has moderate VSM relevance, primarily mapping to S1 (primary operations of economic development) and potentially S4 (adaptation to environmental conditions like land abundance). However, it's more of a developmental process than a clear systemic function.

explanatory_value — 4.0 / 5.0

The entity provides genuine explanatory power by identifying the specific structural conditions and mechanisms that Smith argues drive colonial economic development. It illuminates why colonies can develop rapidly compared to established economies, rather than merely describing that they do.
