Why This Score
This is a routine multi-state policy pledge signing with no identifiable constitutional mechanism—no election, rule of law, separation of powers, civil rights, or violence dimension is implicated. Minor corruption/capture consideration for infrastructure-industry alignment, but negligible. B-score is moderate due to media novelty/photogenic value but lacks strong outrage or strategic distraction signals; not a coordinated hype event. Falls below both A and B thresholds, classifying as Noise.
