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)

  granularity_entropy 2.6748 (min 1.0)

entity_slug: land_carriage
evaluator: null
evaluated_at: '2026-02-23T05:39:56.715339'
overall_score: 4.4
scores:
- name: definition_precision
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The definition clearly distinguishes land-carriage from water-carriage
and specifies the key components (waggons, carts, pack animals) and economic characteristics
(higher costs, limited market extent). It avoids circularity and captures a distinct
transportation mode with specific economic implications.
- name: source_grounding
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity is directly grounded in Smith's text from Book I, Chapter
3, where he explicitly discusses land-carriage and provides the specific calculations
mentioned (hundred men for three weeks, four hundred horses for two hundred tons).
The economic analysis of its limitations on market extent is central to Smith's
argument.
- name: domain_placement
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The "Exchange" domain placement is correct, as land-carriage is fundamentally
about the mechanisms and costs of moving goods between markets. Smith uses it
specifically to explain how transportation costs affect the extent of markets
and the feasibility of trade.
- name: vsm_relevance
value: 3.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: Land-carriage maps most naturally to S1 (primary operations) as a basic
operational capability for moving goods, but it also has S4 implications regarding
environmental adaptation to geographic constraints. However, it's primarily an
operational tool rather than a systemic function.
- name: explanatory_value
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity provides significant explanatory power by illuminating the
structural mechanism through which transportation costs limit market extent and
division of labour. It's not merely descriptive but reveals a fundamental economic
constraint that shapes market development and specialization possibilities.

# Evaluation: Land Carriage
## definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0
The definition clearly distinguishes land-carriage from water-carriage and specifies the key components (waggons, carts, pack animals) and economic characteristics (higher costs, limited market extent). It avoids circularity and captures a distinct transportation mode with specific economic implications.
## source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0
This entity is directly grounded in Smith's text from Book I, Chapter 3, where he explicitly discusses land-carriage and provides the specific calculations mentioned (hundred men for three weeks, four hundred horses for two hundred tons). The economic analysis of its limitations on market extent is central to Smith's argument.

The "Exchange" domain placement is correct, as land-carriage is fundamentally about the mechanisms and costs of moving goods between markets. Smith uses it specifically to explain how transportation costs affect the extent of markets and the feasibility of trade.
## vsm_relevance — 3.0 / 5.0
Land-carriage maps most naturally to S1 (primary operations) as a basic operational capability for moving goods, but it also has S4 implications regarding environmental adaptation to geographic constraints. However, it's primarily an operational tool rather than a systemic function.
