overall_score: 1.4
scores:
- name: definition_precision
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: There is no definition provided at all, making this entity completely
    imprecise. Without any definitional content, it's impossible to assess whether
    this captures a distinct concept or represents a vague umbrella term.
- name: source_grounding
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: With no definition, context, or source chapter specified, there's no
    evidence this entity is grounded in Smith's actual text. The generic term "Economic
    System Institution" could refer to anything and provides no clear connection to
    specific passages or concepts from "The Wealth of Nations."
- name: domain_placement
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: While "Economic System Institution" sounds like it belongs in an economic
    domain, the unspecified domain and lack of definition make it impossible to verify
    correct placement. The term is so broad it could encompass multiple conceptual
    categories without clear boundaries.
- name: vsm_relevance
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The term "institution" suggests some structural/regulatory function that
    might map to VSM systems (potentially S2-S5), but without definition or context,
    it's too abstract and undefined to place meaningfully within the VSM framework.
    It could theoretically relate to any system depending on what type of institution
    is meant.
- name: explanatory_value
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: This entity provides zero explanatory value in its current form, as it
    merely offers a generic label without any mechanism, relation, or substantive
    content. It names nothing specific and illuminates no particular economic phenomenon
    or structural relationship.
