Weekly civic intelligence report · v2.2
The Dow Jones dropped 700 points as markets reacted to concerns about Trump's auto tariffs and declining consumer confidence. This represents economic market response to policy uncertainty.
Market decline driven by tariff concerns and consumer confidence data. A-score=0: No constitutional mechanism present - this is market reaction to policy speculation, not implementation of constitutional damage. No election interference, rule of law violation, separation of powers breach, civil rights impact, institutional capture, corruption, or violence. Tariff authority exists within executive powers; market response to potential policy is economic, not constitutional. B-score=12.0: Layer1=4.4 (outrage_bait:2 - financial anxiety but routine, meme_ability:1 - limited viral potential, novelty:1 - recurring market story, media_friendliness:4 - strong headline appeal with numbers). Layer2=3.6 (mismatch:3 - constitutional framing absent but economic anxiety emphasized, timing:2 - standard market reporting, narrative_pivot:1 - minimal strategic redirection, pattern_match:2 - fits market volatility pattern). Intentionality=0 - no coordination indicators. Classification: Noise - A<25, no constitutional mechanism, clear noise indicators of market volatility and routine economic fluctuation responding to policy speculation rather than constitutional damage.
Disregard as constitutional concern. Standard market volatility responding to policy uncertainty. Monitor only if tariff implementation involves constitutional overreach (e.g., circumventing Congress, emergency powers abuse). Current event is economic noise without institutional damage vector.
