B-score 29.14: Layer 1 (14.63/26.5): Outrage bait 8.5 (milestone framing, vulnerable population, healthcare access). Media friendliness 8.0 (clear narrative, advocacy hooks, lawsuit drama). Meme_ability 6.0 (round number milestone). Novelty 4.0 (continuation of known pattern). Layer 2 (14.51/19.5): Pattern match 7.5 (fits culture war template). Mismatch 7.0 (cumulative counting inflates single-event significance). Timing 6.5 (milestone announcement coordination).
