Why This Score

Foreign policy adjustment toward Cuba scores minimal constitutional damage (A=0.29). Only minor rule_of_law impact (1/5) as policy changes affect diplomatic relations but lack domestic constitutional mechanism. Severity multipliers reduced (0.9/0.85/0.8) as policy is easily reversible by future administrations. Mechanism modifier 0.7 reflects executive foreign policy authority within normal bounds. Scope modifier 0.6 for international focus with minimal domestic constitutional impact. B-score (10.89) reflects moderate media attention for policy reversal narrative but lacks viral elements. Layer 1: moderate media friendliness (3) for diplomatic story, low novelty (2) as Cuba policy shifts are recurring. Layer 2: modest narrative pivot (2) and pattern matching (2) to broader Trump foreign policy. Intentionality low (4) - routine policy reversal. Classification: Noise - A-score far below 25 threshold, no meaningful constitutional mechanism, routine foreign policy adjustment within executive authority, easily reversible.
