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 distinguishes taxes on necessaries from other types of taxes and explains their specific economic effects (raising wages, affecting landlords and consumers). It avoids circularity and captures a distinct fiscal concept with identifiable transmission mechanisms.
name value max_value rationale
source_grounding 5.0 5.0 This concept is directly grounded in Smith's detailed analysis in Book V, Chapter 2, where he extensively discusses how taxes on necessaries operate differently from taxes on luxuries and their effects on wages and economic distribution. The entity accurately reflects Smith's actual arguments about these tax effects.
name value max_value rationale
domain_placement 5.0 5.0 "General Theory" is the appropriate domain placement as this represents a fundamental principle of Smith's tax theory that applies across different economic contexts. It's a core theoretical concept rather than a specific application or institutional arrangement.
name value max_value rationale
vsm_relevance 3.0 5.0 This entity has moderate VSM relevance, primarily mapping to S4 (intelligence/environmental adaptation) as it represents how the economic system responds to fiscal policy changes. However, it's somewhat abstract as a policy instrument rather than a clear operational or regulatory mechanism.
name value max_value rationale
explanatory_value 5.0 5.0 This entity provides excellent explanatory value by illuminating the structural mechanism through which taxes on essential goods propagate through the economy, affecting wages, rents, and prices. It reveals how fiscal policy creates systematic distributional effects rather than just naming a tax category.

Evaluation: Tax On Necessaries

definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0

The definition clearly distinguishes taxes on necessaries from other types of taxes and explains their specific economic effects (raising wages, affecting landlords and consumers). It avoids circularity and captures a distinct fiscal concept with identifiable transmission mechanisms.

source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0

This concept is directly grounded in Smith's detailed analysis in Book V, Chapter 2, where he extensively discusses how taxes on necessaries operate differently from taxes on luxuries and their effects on wages and economic distribution. The entity accurately reflects Smith's actual arguments about these tax effects.

domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0

"General Theory" is the appropriate domain placement as this represents a fundamental principle of Smith's tax theory that applies across different economic contexts. It's a core theoretical concept rather than a specific application or institutional arrangement.

vsm_relevance — 3.0 / 5.0

This entity has moderate VSM relevance, primarily mapping to S4 (intelligence/environmental adaptation) as it represents how the economic system responds to fiscal policy changes. However, it's somewhat abstract as a policy instrument rather than a clear operational or regulatory mechanism.

explanatory_value — 5.0 / 5.0

This entity provides excellent explanatory value by illuminating the structural mechanism through which taxes on essential goods propagate through the economy, affecting wages, rents, and prices. It reveals how fiscal policy creates systematic distributional effects rather than just naming a tax category.
