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. The entity exists only as a title without any conceptual
    content.
- name: source_grounding
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: While Smith does discuss drawbacks (export bounties/refunds) and mentions
    potential for abuse in tax systems, the specific framing as "fraud in drawback
    system" may not be explicitly articulated as a distinct concept in the source
    text. Without seeing the actual definition and context, it's unclear if this represents
    Smith's own conceptualization.
- name: domain_placement
  value: 3.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The concept would logically belong in public finance or trade policy
    domains, which are central to Smith's work, but without a specified domain or
    definition, proper placement cannot be confirmed. The economic relevance is apparent
    but underspecified.
- name: vsm_relevance
  value: 4.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: This entity would map well to S3 (internal regulation/audit) as it concerns
    detecting and preventing abuse within government financial systems. The concept
    has clear VSM relevance for control and monitoring functions.
- name: explanatory_value
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: While fraud in tax/trade systems could illuminate important structural
    weaknesses in government finance, without any definition or context provided,
    this entity currently offers no explanatory power beyond naming a potential problem
    area. It remains a surface-level label rather than an analytical concept.
