Why This Score
This is a routine report of Treasury's standard anti-fraud oversight function catching improper payments to deceased individuals—a normal administrative control process, not a constitutional or governance event. No election, rule of law, separation of powers, civil rights, institutional capture, corruption, or violence dimension is implicated; this is fraud detection working as intended. A-score is 0. B-score is minimal since the story has mild human-interest/meme appeal ('paying dead people') but no strategic distraction value, no timing tied to controversy, and no narrative pivot function. Classified as Noise.
