Track whether this proposed rule actually advances through rulemaking (Federal Register publication, comment period, finalization) or remains an announcement without implementation—and monitor what higher-harm actions proceed while media covers this.
This scores A=0 because it's a proposed rule expanding employer benefit options with no constitutional harm vectors—no rights restrictions, no institutional capture, no corruption indicators. It scores B=58 due to high strategic distraction value: dropped during a week with denaturalization campaigns and election control plans, creates positive headline contrast, generates easy panel discussions about 'Trump helping families' while substantive governance harm occurs elsewhere. The timing and media-volume mismatch relative to governance substance are pronounced.
