Why This Score
This event lacks sufficient detail to establish any concrete governance mechanism, institutional lever, or downstream effect—it's explicitly noted as too vague to classify as a distinct administration action. With no mechanism, narrow scope, and no clear driver impact, it scores minimally on both constitutional damage and distraction/hype scales.
