Vought's confirmation as OMB Director represents significant institutional capture through personnel placement. OMB controls federal budget execution, regulatory review, and administrative policy coordination—making this a high-leverage position for government restructuring. Capture score (4) reflects his known ideological alignment with aggressive executive power expansion and administrative state dismantling. Rule_of_law (2) and separation (3) reflect OMB's role in budget impoundment debates and executive-legislative balance. Mechanism modifier (1.3) applies for personnel_capture at a critical chokepoint agency. Scope modifier (1.2) for federal/broad impact. Severity: durability (1.2) as OMB directors shape multi-year budget frameworks; reversibility (0.9) as position is replaceable but institutional changes persist; precedent (1.1) for normalizing ideological capture of technocratic roles. A-score: 26.4. B-score modest (12.4): routine confirmation generates limited viral attention despite policy implications. Outrage_bait (3) among those tracking administrative state issues. Layer 2 minimal as this is substantive governance event. D-score: +14.0 clearly indicates List A—real constitutional implications with limited hype inflation.
