A-score (21.8): Resource reallocation mechanism with federal scope targeting clean energy grants. Election driver (2.5) reflects partisan geographic targeting of blue states. Separation (3.0) captures executive unilateral termination of congressionally-appropriated funds. Capture (3.5) reflects fossil fuel industry alignment and ideological energy policy shift. Rule_of_law (2.0) for potential Impoundment Control Act issues. Mechanism modifier 1.25 for resource_reallocation with clear beneficiary shift. Severity: durability 1.1 (requires congressional reappropriation), reversibility 0.95 (technically reversible but projects disrupted), precedent 1.15 (establishes pattern of partisan energy policy via funding cuts). Scope 1.15 for federal action with multi-state impact. B-score (27.6): High Layer 1 (24/40): outrage_bait 7 (climate+partisan targeting), media_friendliness 8 (clear narrative, state impacts, shutdown timing). Layer 2 (26/40): pattern_match 8 (fits anti-regulatory narrative), narrative_pivot 7 (shifts from shutdown to energy wars), mismatch 6 (constitutional vs culture war framing). Intentionality 9/15: explicit blue state targeting, timing during shutdown maximizes attention, aligns with fossil fuel narrative. D-score: -5.8. Classification: List B (B>=25, D<=-10 threshold nearly met, distraction elements dominate constitutional substance).
