This event scores low on constitutional damage (A=5.78) but high on distraction/hype (B=30.96), yielding D=-25.18. The phone call represents diplomatic engagement but lacks concrete mechanism for constitutional harm. Rule_of_law scores 1 for potential Logan Act concerns (though Trump is president), separation scores 2 for executive foreign policy conduct without clear congressional coordination, capture scores 1 for Russia relationship dynamics. Mechanism modifier 0.7 applied due to null mechanism - this is a phone call with no specified policy outcome. Layer 1 hype is substantial: media_friendliness 4 (Trump-Putin calls always generate coverage), novelty 3 (Middle East mediation angle), outrage_bait 3 (Putin condemning Israel creates partisan reactions). Layer 2 strategic elements strong: pattern_match 3 (fits Trump-Russia narrative), timing 3 (amid Middle East tensions), narrative_pivot 2 (shifts from domestic issues). Intentionality moderate at 6 (diplomatic theater, strategic timing of announcement). Final B-score 30.96 exceeds threshold with strong negative D-score, clearly List B.
