overall_score: 4.4
scores:
- name: definition_precision
  value: 4.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The definition clearly distinguishes "complete manufacture" as the finished
    product at the end of the production process, before market exchange. It avoids
    circularity and captures a distinct stage in the production chain.
- name: source_grounding
  value: 5.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: This entity is directly grounded in Smith's discussion in Book I, Chapter
    6 about how manufactured goods' prices must account for materials, wages, and
    profits. The concept emerges naturally from Smith's analysis of production stages
    and pricing.
- name: domain_placement
  value: 5.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: '"Production" is the correct domain assignment, as this entity specifically
    concerns the output stage of the manufacturing process. It fits perfectly within
    production theory rather than exchange, distribution, or other economic domains.'
- name: vsm_relevance
  value: 4.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: This entity maps well to S1 (primary operations) as it represents the
    actual output of productive operations. It could also relate to S3 (internal regulation)
    in terms of quality control and completion standards for manufactured goods.

  rationale: "The entity illuminates an important structural relation in Smith's production\

    \ It helps explain how pricing mechanisms must account for the full production\

# Evaluation: Complete Manufacture

## definition_precision — 4.0 / 5.0

The definition clearly distinguishes "complete manufacture" as the finished product at the end of the production process, before market exchange. It avoids circularity and captures a distinct stage in the production chain.

## source_grounding — 5.0 / 5.0

This entity is directly grounded in Smith's discussion in Book I, Chapter 6 about how manufactured goods' prices must account for materials, wages, and profits. The concept emerges naturally from Smith's analysis of production stages and pricing.

## domain_placement — 5.0 / 5.0

"Production" is the correct domain assignment, as this entity specifically concerns the output stage of the manufacturing process. It fits perfectly within production theory rather than exchange, distribution, or other economic domains.

## vsm_relevance — 4.0 / 5.0

This entity maps well to S1 (primary operations) as it represents the actual output of productive operations. It could also relate to S3 (internal regulation) in terms of quality control and completion standards for manufactured goods.

## explanatory_value — 4.0 / 5.0

The entity illuminates an important structural relation in Smith's production theory—the distinction between intermediate and final stages of manufacturing. It helps explain how pricing mechanisms must account for the full production process from raw materials to finished goods.
