Burkina Faso 12.5 → 6.3 (Delta -6.2): Active-State-Perpetration Reweight — HRW Crimes Against Humanity Finding Enters Baseline

Bayraktar TB2 drone strikes on crowded civilian markets are separately ruled apparent war crimes, with the military assessed as acting with little or no concern for civilian harm. The junta actively curtails reporting to obscure civilian suffering. OCHA's April 29 data adds 2,640 conflict deaths in Q1 2026 alone, 3M+ displaced, and 7.5M children in need. None of this evidence was reflected in the published uniform 1.5 baseline (12.5). The score is set at 6.3 — not the absolute 0.0 floor — because the conflict is genuinely multi-sided (JNIM simultaneously committing atrocities) and a residual UN $1.16B Food Systems partnership constitutes a partial cooperation signal. The new ACTIVE-STATE-PERPETRATION-REWEIGHT ruling formalizes this calibration: where a corroborated Tier-5 finding documents multi-category state-perpetrated atrocity not priced in the baseline, reweight toward the Critical floor, with the sole-perpetrator and cooperation-status as the two variables governing final placement. EQU, ACC, INT, and EMP absorb the largest dimensional movements (deliberate ethnic targeting, anti-transparency, rhetoric-conduct contradiction). Burkina Faso remains Critical; no band crossing.

Two new suits filed in May 2026 enter the record: a $250M 340B diversion case (Mount Sinai Health System, Michigan Medicine, University of Kansas Health System — alleging CVS diverted funds earmarked for indigent-care programs) and the Tennessee FAIR Rx challenge (a Tennessee audit found a 16,000% affiliated-pharmacy reimbursement gap). Both are filed-but-unadjudicated civil complaints from major institutional plaintiffs with documentary audit records — categorically stronger evidence than anonymous testimony, but pre-adjudication. The suits reinforce CVS Health's already near-floor ACC 1.75 and EQU 1.75 dimensions rather than revealing new unpriced conduct. The FILED-BUT-UNADJUDICATED-LITIGATION ruling holds: institutional-plaintiff civil complaints against a near-floor entity are documented as forward watches, not as independent scored downgrade triggers. Adjudication, settlement, or a judicial finding constitutes the scoring trigger. The watch is formally logged.

DeepMind/Google's 98% CWU-member union vote over military AI contracts is an in-progress organizing effort — union recognition has not been granted, and the Amazon precedent treats in-progress campaigns as external worker-power rather than a scored governance outcome. The whistleblower allegation regarding Google AI assistance to Israeli military drone surveillance remains unverified single-source below the corroborated threshold. OpenAI's published DoW classified-network deployment agreement embeds contractual red lines (no mass surveillance, no autonomous lethal weapons) that offset the militarization concern; OpenAI is identified as the most cautious of eight DoW signatories. Both entities net to no dimension movement. The candidate category remains not operationalized into a standing rule; symmetric application of a not-yet-operationalized candidate is itself methodological progress, demonstrating the logic is not entity-specific. DeepMind/Google's 2026-05-30 math-hygiene reconciliation (58.4 to 56.9) remains pending; no duplicate proposal written tonight.

The ALGORITHM-BASED-WORKER-CLASSIFICATION candidate (the theory that remote-worker reclassification was used to reduce WARN Act obligations) remains pre-positioned but not yet scorable: the reclassification claim originated from an unverified anonymous source, Oracle has not responded publicly, and prior WARN investigations closed without public resolution. Any adjudicated or corroborated finding that the reclassification was a WARN-avoidance device constitutes a scoring trigger from a baseline 0.6 points above the Critical boundary. New Jersey state WARN 90-day proceedings and the Washington class action are the two active adjudication channels with known timelines.

• Burkina Faso 12.5 to 6.3 is the first application of the new ACTIVE-STATE-PERPETRATION-REWEIGHT ruling
• The ruling distinguishes multi-sided-perpetration from sole-perpetration: 6.3 vs 0.0 turns on JNIM parallel atrocities and residual UN Food Systems partnership
• Critical band internal structure now documented: 0.0 (sole perpetrator or multi-category extremity), 2.3–4.7 (near-floor incapacity), 6.3 (multi-sided perpetration with residual cooperation)
• Four floor entities confirmed at 0.0 (Israel, Sudan, Afghanistan, Myanmar); no new floor entries this cycle

• West/Central Africa lean season (June–August) covers the same geographic cluster as tonight's Burkina Faso, Somalia, and Sudan assessed entities
• Somalia famine risk (~6M acute hunger; WFP reaching 1-in-10) confirmed under NATURAL-DISASTER-OVERLAY; federal government cooperation distinguishes from active-perpetration floor
• Sudan: famine confirmed in Al Fasher and Kadugli; 2026 humanitarian plan approximately 20% funded as lean season opens
• DRC Ebola cross-border spread to Uganda (9 confirmed cases) extends the outbreak surveillance window beyond DRC borders
