This event scores A=22.51 (below 25 threshold) and B=15.98. Rule_of_law (4) reflects judicial accountability mechanism working as designed - whistleblowers validated, financial penalty imposed. Corruption (4) addresses AG misconduct reported to FBI. Separation (3) involves state executive official accountability. Capture (2) reflects potential abuse of office. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for judicial_legal_action (accountability enforcement). Scope 0.85 for single_state/narrow. Severity: durability 1.1 (precedent for whistleblower protection), reversibility 1.0 (monetary award), precedent 1.1 (validates reporting mechanisms). B-score: Layer1 driven by outrage_bait (6 - AG corruption), media_friendliness (7 - clear narrative), novelty (4 - significant award). Layer2 modest - pattern_match (4 - fits corruption narrative). Intentionality low (4) - judicial timing natural, political figure involved. Delta +6.53 suggests constitutional validation over distraction, but A-score insufficient for List A classification.
