Federal funding cuts to HIV research in Colorado represent routine resource reallocation with minimal constitutional impact (A=4.9). Rule_of_law scored 1 for administrative process deviation, civil_rights 2 for health access impact on vulnerable population, capture 1 for potential policy influence. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for resource_reallocation, scope 0.85 for single_state. B-score 24.3 driven by high outrage_bait (death predictions), strong media_friendliness (health crisis narrative), and pattern_match to broader funding cut concerns. However, A-score far below threshold (4.9 vs 25 required), no clear constitutional mechanism beyond routine budget authority, and single-state scope indicates this is administrative noise rather than constitutional event.
