| 5 | Business Analyst | A sector-wide selloff in Asian chip stocks tied to AI spending and demand concerns is market-relevant and newsworthy, but it is a single-source, synopsis-level report with no concrete figures or company-specific actions, so moderate importance fits. |
| 4 | News Editor | A market move in chip stocks driven by investor sentiment about AI spending is a concrete but limited-scope financial event with no specific company, index, or figure detail, so it rates as minor-to-moderate news. |
| 3 | Critical Reader | This is a market-moving report of a single-day stock decline with no specific figures, companies, or verified concrete action, and it rests on one source, so its impact is limited to investor sentiment rather than a measurable change. |
