scores:
- name: definition_precision
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: There is no definition provided at all, making it impossible to assess
    precision or distinctness. Without any definitional content, this entity fails
    to capture any concept in a meaningful way.
- name: source_grounding
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: While "corn rent" appears to be related to Smith's discussion of agricultural
    rent and corn prices in The Wealth of Nations, the complete absence of definition
    or context makes it unclear whether this represents Smith's actual conceptual
    framework. The term itself suggests some grounding in the source material, but
    this cannot be verified without proper documentation.
- name: domain_placement
  value: 3.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The term "corn rent" would logically belong in agricultural economics
    or rent theory domains within Smith's framework, but without a definition or specified
    domain, the placement cannot be properly evaluated. The concept appears thematically
    appropriate but lacks proper categorization.
- name: vsm_relevance
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: Rent mechanisms could potentially map to S1 (primary economic operations)
    or S3 (internal market regulation), but the absence of any definitional content
    makes VSM placement impossible to determine. The entity is too undefined to assess
    its systemic role.
- name: explanatory_value
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: With no definition, context, or explanation provided, this entity adds
    zero explanatory power to understanding economic mechanisms or relationships.
    It merely presents a label without illuminating any underlying structural relations
    or processes.
