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)
  consistency_cycles 0.0000  (max 0)
  granularity_entropy 2.6748 (min 1.0)
  per_entity_mean    3.9556  (min 3.5)

Dimension breakdown (mean across 985 entities):

entity_slug: merchantable_herrings
evaluator: null
evaluated_at: '2026-02-23T05:51:50.787158'
overall_score: 4.2
scores:
- name: definition_precision
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The definition clearly distinguishes merchantable herrings from other
forms (like sea-sticks) by specifying the additional processing requirements of
salting and packaging for commercial sale. It captures a distinct stage in the
fish processing chain rather than being vague or circular.
- name: source_grounding
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity is directly grounded in Smith's discussion in Book IV, Chapter
5, where he explicitly contrasts merchantable herrings with sea-sticks to illustrate
how bounties distort pricing in the fishing industry. The concept emerges naturally
from Smith's own analysis.
- name: domain_placement
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The "Production" domain assignment is correct, as merchantable herrings
represent a specific stage in the production process where raw fish are transformed
into market-ready commodities. This fits perfectly within production economics
rather than trade or consumption domains.
- name: vsm_relevance
value: 3.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity maps most naturally to S1 (primary operations) as a specific
production output, but it's primarily a product category rather than a systemic
function. While it has some VSM relevance through its role in production operations,
it's more of a concrete output than a system component.
- name: explanatory_value
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The entity provides genuine explanatory value by illustrating how government
bounties can create artificial distinctions and pricing structures in commodity
markets. It serves as a concrete example of how subsidies distort natural market
mechanisms and pricing relationships.
