Trust is a core axis of this thesis, not a footnote. High capital with low trust is exactly the pattern the Suppression Weight is built to surface — the Dharma Zone is where capital and trust move together.
LATENTlow capital · high trust
Trust is high but capital hasn’t arrived yet — the upside the thesis chases.
DHARMA ZONEhigh capital · high trust
Capital and community trust move together — the healthy target state.
SUPPRESSEDlow capital · low trust
Both capital and trust are held down — the starting condition suppression creates.
EXTRACTIVEhigh capital · low trust
Money is flowing in but the community doesn’t trust it — value is pulled out, not built.
v1 placeholder calibration (rho=0.80, ceiling=100). No headlineBand pinned (no external pitch value supplied); the engine derives the band from mean confidence. quadrant.capital/trust are a qualitative placement, refine with the content owner. A candidate HOLC/Mapping Inequality redlining factor was investigated and dropped: the 1937 HOLC residential-security survey covered the City of Pittsburgh proper, not the independent Mon Valley boroughs including Braddock, so no HOLC grade specific to Braddock was located in this research pass (see kill-rule notes in the receipts doc). USDA Food Access Atlas designation and CDC PLACES tract-level health data were investigated but not shipped as standalone factors distinct from what `env` and `health` already price, to avoid double-counting (see receipts doc).
