This event scores high on constitutional damage (A=49.0) due to significant impacts across multiple drivers. Civil_rights (4.5) reflects elimination of dedicated civil rights enforcement within IRS affecting protected classes. Rule_of_law (4.0) captures degradation of tax enforcement capacity and equal application of tax law. Capture (3.5) and corruption (3.0) reflect potential for selective enforcement and reduced oversight of wealthy/corporate tax compliance. Election (3.5) reflects impact on democratic infrastructure through reduced enforcement capacity. Resource_reallocation mechanism adds 1.25x modifier as it represents systematic defunding of enforcement capacity. Federal scope with broad population impact adds 1.15x. Severity multipliers (1.2/1.1/1.2) reflect that rebuilding 20,000-person workforce and institutional knowledge is highly durable, moderately difficult to reverse, and sets precedent for gutting enforcement agencies. B-score (21.1) is elevated but not dominant - high outrage_bait (7) and media_friendliness (8) as IRS layoffs generate strong reactions, moderate novelty (6) as part of broader federal workforce reduction pattern. Layer 2 shows pattern_match (6) with anti-tax enforcement narratives and timing (5) early in administration. Intentionality moderate (6) with policy announcement and symbolic targeting of civil rights office. Delta of +27.9 clearly places this as List A - substantial constitutional damage with distraction elements but damage dominates.
