overall_score: 4.4
scores:
- name: definition_precision
  value: 4.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The definition clearly distinguishes judgment as decision-making capacity
    about labor direction, separate from skill and dexterity. It captures a specific
    cognitive capability that develops through specialization rather than being a
    vague umbrella term.
- name: source_grounding
  value: 5.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: This entity is directly grounded in Smith's explicit discussion in Book
    I, Chapter 1, where he identifies judgment as one of three specific improvements
    in labor resulting from division of labor. The concept is clearly stated in the
    source text, not inferred or extrapolated.
- name: domain_placement
  value: 5.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The "Production" domain assignment is correct, as this concept directly
    relates to how labor is organized and applied in productive processes. It fits
    naturally within the operational aspects of economic production rather than exchange,
    distribution, or policy domains.
- name: vsm_relevance
  value: 4.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: This entity maps well to S1 (primary operations) as it concerns how workers
    make decisions within their specific operational roles. It also has some relevance
    to S2 (coordination) as improved judgment helps workers coordinate their activities
    more effectively within the production process.
- name: explanatory_value
  value: 4.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The entity illuminates an important mechanism by which division of labor
    improves productivity - not just through mechanical skill development, but through
    enhanced decision-making capabilities. It explains how specialization creates
    cognitive as well as physical improvements in work performance.
