Why This Score
This event scores low on constitutional damage (A=9) as drug pricing negotiations through company filings represent routine policy activity with minimal corruption concerns unless specific quid-pro-quo emerges. The distraction score is moderate (B=30) due to media-friendly framing around 'revealed deals' that generates curiosity without substantive governance impact, though intentionality appears low as this is standard corporate disclosure timing.
