  rationale: There is no definition provided at all, making it impossible to assess
    the precision or distinctness of the concept. Without a definition, this entity
    lacks any conceptual clarity.

  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: With no source chapter specified and no definition or context provided,
    there is no evidence this entity is grounded in Smith's actual text. The term
    appears to be a modern analytical construct rather than something Smith explicitly
    discussed.
- name: domain_placement
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: While manufacturing for distant markets is plausibly an economic concept
    that could relate to Smith's discussions of trade and specialization, the unspecified
    domain and lack of context make proper categorization impossible. The concept
    could belong to trade, production, or market structure domains.
- name: vsm_relevance
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: Manufacturing operations could potentially map to S1 (primary operations)
    and distant market considerations might relate to S4 (environmental intelligence),
    but without proper definition and context, any VSM mapping would be speculative.
    The entity is too underdeveloped to assess VSM relevance meaningfully.

  rationale: Without definition, context, or source grounding, this entity provides
    no explanatory power whatsoever. It appears to be merely a label without substance,
