This event scores A=31.2 (moderate constitutional damage) and B=56.3 (high distraction/hype), yielding D=-25.1, firmly placing it on List B. Constitutional damage is real but contained: election integrity concerns (3.5) from first-ever presidential felony conviction, rule of law impact (4.2) from the unprecedented nature and timing creating perception of differential justice, separation of powers (2.8) from state judiciary sentencing incoming president, and corruption driver (3.0) from the underlying conviction. However, the unconditional discharge with no actual punishment significantly limits practical impact. Severity multipliers reflect high durability (1.2) of conviction remaining on record and strong precedent (1.25) for future cases, but good reversibility (0.9) given no tangible penalty. The distraction score is exceptionally high: Layer 1 (55% weight) scores 93.5/100 with maximum media friendliness (9.5) for historic first, high novelty (9.0), strong outrage potential (8.5) across political spectrum, and good meme-ability (7.0). Layer 2 (45% weight) scores 74.7/100 with perfect timing (9.5) days before inauguration, high mismatch (8.0) between conviction and no-punishment outcome, strong pattern matching (8.5) to ongoing Trump legal narratives, and narrative pivot potential (7.5). Intentionality indicators score 11/15 for strategic timing and symbolic resolution, yielding 0.55 intent weight that amplifies Layer 2. The massive -25.1 gap indicates this is primarily a high-spectacle event with limited constitutional teeth—the conviction creates headlines but the discharge ensures minimal practical impact, classic List B profile.
