White House announces major overhaul of troubled US air traffic control system at significant cost. This represents a major infrastructure governance initiative with substantial financial implications.
This is a routine infrastructure policy announcement with minimal constitutional implications. A-score: Only marginal capture concern (1/5) as infrastructure overhauls can involve contractor relationships, but no evidence of problematic dynamics. Policy_change mechanism adds 15% modifier, federal scope adds 10%. Total A=1.77, well below threshold. B-score: Low media friendliness (3/5) for 'billions' cost angle, minimal novelty (2/5) as infrastructure announcements are common, negligible outrage (1/5). Layer 1 = 3.3. No strategic distraction indicators in Layer 2. D-score = -1.53. This is standard executive branch infrastructure governance with no mechanism for constitutional damage and clear noise indicators.
Monitor for implementation details that might reveal regulatory capture or procurement irregularities, but treat as routine infrastructure policy absent such evidence.
