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):
  definition_precision  3.62
  source_grounding      4.36
  domain_placement      4.56
  vsm_relevance         3.31

entity_slug: purveyance
evaluator: null
evaluated_at: '2026-02-23T06:14:48.403741'
overall_score: 4.2
scores:
- name: definition_precision
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The definition is precise and captures a distinct feudal practice with
clear operational characteristics (requisitioning at regulated prices during specific
circumstances). It avoids circularity and distinguishes purveyance from general
taxation through its specific mechanism and context.
- name: source_grounding
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity is directly grounded in Smith's text from Book III, Chapter
2, where he explicitly discusses purveyance as one of the arbitrary services imposed
on the yeomanry and notes its abolition as part of legal reforms in Great Britain.
- name: domain_placement
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The "Regulation" domain assignment is highly appropriate, as purveyance
represents a specific regulatory mechanism of feudal governance that constrained
economic activity through mandatory provision of goods and services.
- name: vsm_relevance
value: 3.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: Purveyance maps reasonably well to S3 (internal regulation) as a control
mechanism within the feudal system, though it also has S1 operational aspects
in terms of resource extraction. However, it's primarily a historical regulatory
practice rather than a core VSM concept.
- name: explanatory_value
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity provides genuine explanatory power by illustrating a specific
mechanism through which feudal systems extracted resources and burdened economic
actors, helping explain the structural constraints on economic development that
Smith analyzes.

# Evaluation: Purveyance
## definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0
The definition is precise and captures a distinct feudal practice with clear operational characteristics (requisitioning at regulated prices during specific circumstances). It avoids circularity and distinguishes purveyance from general taxation through its specific mechanism and context.
## source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0
This entity is directly grounded in Smith's text from Book III, Chapter 2, where he explicitly discusses purveyance as one of the arbitrary services imposed on the yeomanry and notes its abolition as part of legal reforms in Great Britain.
## domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0
The "Regulation" domain assignment is highly appropriate, as purveyance represents a specific regulatory mechanism of feudal governance that constrained economic activity through mandatory provision of goods and services.
## vsm_relevance — 3.0 / 5.0
Purveyance maps reasonably well to S3 (internal regulation) as a control mechanism within the feudal system, though it also has S1 operational aspects in terms of resource extraction. However, it's primarily a historical regulatory practice rather than a core VSM concept.
