Why This Score
A-score (6.16): Low constitutional damage. Separation (2) reflects potential blurring of private/public boundaries with presidential initiative. Capture (3) and corruption (2) reflect conflict-of-interest concerns with major bank servicing presidential project. Rule_of_law (1) minimal as no legal violations evident. Norm_erosion_only mechanism applies 0.7 modifier - this is soft boundary erosion without hard institutional damage. Severity multipliers near baseline (precedent 1.1 for bank-presidential initiative relationship). B-score (20.35): Moderate hype. Layer 1 (55%): outrage_bait (3) for conflict-of-interest angle, novelty (3) for 'Board of Peace' branding, media_friendliness (4) for simple bank-Trump narrative. Layer 2 (45%): pattern_match (3) fits Trump-financial-conflict template, mismatch (2) between 'peace' framing and banking angle. Intentionality (4) for financial conflict framing. D-score: -14.19 (B>A). Classification: Noise - A-score below 25 threshold, mechanism_modifier indicates insufficient hard constitutional mechanism, narrow population scope, event at speculative 'talks' stage without concrete action, noise indicators present.
