This event involves reversal of a voluntary ethics policy by a private organization (Trump Organization) regarding foreign business deals. Constitutional damage is limited: rule_of_law=2 (weak norm erosion, no legal violation), capture=3 (potential conflicts of interest between private business and presidential influence), corruption=4 (creates corruption risk pathways but no actual corrupt acts yet documented). The mechanism_modifier=0.6 applies because this is norm_erosion_only with no legal/structural change - it's a private company policy reversal, not government action. Base score 13.78 * 0.6 = 9.09, below the 25 threshold. B-score reflects moderate media interest (outrage_bait=3, media_friendliness=3) but limited viral potential. The timing during transition and narrative convenience around Trump conflicts yields intentionality=4. Final B=9.45. With A<25, mechanism=norm_erosion_only, narrow population impact, and no immediate constitutional harm mechanism, this classifies as Noise despite legitimate ethics concerns.
