Executive order targeting Smithsonian funding scores moderate on constitutional dimensions: separation of powers (3) for executive overreach into congressionally-funded institution, institutional capture (3) for attempting to control cultural/educational institution, rule of law (2) for circumventing appropriations process, civil rights (2) for potential impact on public access to culture/education. Resource reallocation mechanism adds 15% modifier. However, A-score of 12.65 falls well below List A threshold of 25. B-score of 15.54 reflects moderate hype: high media friendliness (culture war angle), strong mismatch (symbolic vs substantive), pattern matching (anti-institution narrative). Intentionality at 8 suggests deliberate culture war positioning. Delta of -2.89 indicates slight hype excess but neither score reaches thresholds. Smithsonian has independent board, congressional funding protections, making actual defunding difficult - this appears more symbolic threat than actionable policy. Classified as Noise due to low constitutional damage, high symbolic-to-substantive ratio, and culture war proxy characteristics.
