Why This Score

BBC media correction with apology but no damages represents routine journalistic accountability process with zero constitutional impact. A-score: All drivers score 0 - no election interference, no rule of law violation, no separation of powers issue, no civil rights impact, no institutional capture, no corruption, no violence. Mechanism unknown/absent, no constitutional damage pathway. B-score: Moderate media-friendliness (4) as Trump-media conflict story, modest outrage potential (3) for partisan audiences, low meme-ability (2), minimal novelty (1). Layer 2 shows pattern-match (3) to ongoing Trump-media narrative, modest mismatch (2) between apology and no payment, low timing relevance (1), modest narrative pivot (2). Intentionality at 4 (media correction cycle, Trump grievance narrative) yields 28% intent weight. Final B=15.01. Classification: A<25, B<25, no mechanism, classic media meta-story noise - outlets covering other outlets' corrections about political figure. Routine editorial accountability with no constitutional dimension.
