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)

  granularity_entropy 2.6748 (min 1.0)

entity_slug: tobacco_colonies
evaluator: null
evaluated_at: '2026-02-23T06:31:49.487081'
overall_score: 4.2
scores:
- name: definition_precision
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The definition is clear and specific, identifying tobacco colonies as
North American plantations (Virginia/Maryland) that produce tobacco for European
export. It avoids circularity and distinguishes this concept from general agriculture
by emphasizing the specialized nature and rent-commanding ability of tobacco cultivation.
- name: source_grounding
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity is well-grounded in Smith's actual text from Book I, Chapter
11, where he discusses tobacco colonies as examples of specialized agricultural
production. The comparison to sugar colonies and the discussion of rents relative
to ordinary agricultural land directly reflects Smith's analysis.
- name: domain_placement
value: 5.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: The "Production" domain assignment is correct, as tobacco colonies represent
a specific form of agricultural production with distinct economic characteristics.
This fits naturally within Smith's broader analysis of different types of productive
activities and their varying returns.
- name: vsm_relevance
value: 3.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: Tobacco colonies map primarily to S1 (primary operations) as they represent
actual productive activities, but the concept is somewhat VSM-neutral. While they
involve coordination and environmental adaptation, the entity itself doesn't strongly
illuminate VSM dynamics beyond being a basic operational unit.
- name: explanatory_value
value: 4.0
max_value: 5.0
rationale: This entity provides good explanatory value by illustrating Smith's theory
of differential rents and specialized agriculture. It demonstrates how particular
crops and geographic conditions create economic advantages, contributing to understanding
of rent theory and colonial economic structures.

# Evaluation: Tobacco Colonies
## definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0
The definition is clear and specific, identifying tobacco colonies as North American plantations (Virginia/Maryland) that produce tobacco for European export. It avoids circularity and distinguishes this concept from general agriculture by emphasizing the specialized nature and rent-commanding ability of tobacco cultivation.
## source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0
This entity is well-grounded in Smith's actual text from Book I, Chapter 11, where he discusses tobacco colonies as examples of specialized agricultural production. The comparison to sugar colonies and the discussion of rents relative to ordinary agricultural land directly reflects Smith's analysis.
## domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0
The "Production" domain assignment is correct, as tobacco colonies represent a specific form of agricultural production with distinct economic characteristics. This fits naturally within Smith's broader analysis of different types of productive activities and their varying returns.
## vsm_relevance — 3.0 / 5.0
Tobacco colonies map primarily to S1 (primary operations) as they represent actual productive activities, but the concept is somewhat VSM-neutral. While they involve coordination and environmental adaptation, the entity itself doesn't strongly illuminate VSM dynamics beyond being a basic operational unit.
## explanatory_value — 4.0 / 5.0
