Policy change reclassifying hate symbols as 'potentially divisive' scores moderate on constitutional damage (20.53): civil_rights=4 (weakening protections against hate symbols in federal workplace), rule_of_law=3 (policy regression from established standards), capture=2 (ideological influence on institutional norms), violence=1 (indirect normalization). Severity modifiers: precedent=1.2 (sets concerning standard for federal agencies), durability=1.1 (policy can persist), reversibility=0.9 (relatively easy to reverse). Mechanism modifier=1.15 for formal policy change at federal level. However, B-score is significantly higher at 30.39 due to extreme outrage potential (outrage_bait=8, media_friendliness=9) around emotionally charged symbols. Layer 2 strategic value high (mismatch=7, pattern_match=8) as this fits culture war narratives perfectly. Intentionality=8 suggests deliberate framing choice. Delta of -9.86 indicates substantial hype exceeding actual constitutional impact, though real civil rights concerns exist. Narrow population scope (Coast Guard personnel) limits immediate impact despite federal mechanism.
