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 conceptual distinctness. The entity name suggests a relationship
    between market size and specialization, but without a definition, this remains
    entirely unclear.
- name: source_grounding
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: While Smith does discuss how market size enables greater division of
    labor and specialization (famously with the pin factory example), this specific
    term "market size specialization" doesn't appear to be directly from the source
    text. The underlying concept has some grounding, but the framing is questionable
    without more context.
- name: domain_placement
  value: 3.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The concept likely belongs in the economic domain related to division
    of labor and market mechanisms, which would be appropriate for "The Wealth of
    Nations." However, without a clear definition or specified domain, it's difficult
    to confirm proper placement.
- name: vsm_relevance
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: This could potentially relate to S1 (operational specialization) or S4
    (environmental adaptation to market conditions), but the lack of definition makes
    VSM mapping speculative. The concept seems too underdeveloped to meaningfully
    place within the VSM framework.
- name: explanatory_value
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: Without any definition or context, this entity provides no explanatory
    power whatsoever. It appears to be merely a label without substance, offering
    no insight into mechanisms or structural relations.
