overall_score: 4.4
scores:
- name: definition_precision
  value: 4.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The definition is precise and specific, clearly identifying a bleacher
    as a worker who whitens linen through chemical or natural processes. It captures
    a distinct occupational role rather than being vague or circular.
- name: source_grounding
  value: 5.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: This entity is well-grounded in "The Wealth of Nations" as Smith frequently
    discusses various specialized trades and manufacturing processes, including textile
    workers like bleachers, as examples of division of labor and economic specialization.
- name: domain_placement
  value: 4.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The entity fits well within the economic domain of labor specialization
    and manufacturing processes that Smith analyzes. It represents a concrete example
    of the division of labor in textile production.
- name: vsm_relevance
  value: 5.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: This entity maps clearly to S1 (primary operations) as it represents
    a specific operational function within the textile production system. It could
    also relate to S2 in terms of coordination within the broader manufacturing process.
- name: explanatory_value
  value: 4.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The entity provides good explanatory value by illustrating Smith's key
    concepts of division of labor and specialization in manufacturing. It demonstrates
    how complex production processes are broken down into specialized roles, which
    is central to Smith's economic analysis.
