Dharma verdict
64–74. Suppressed, not low.
Recommendation: invest. A gap of +45 held down by sourced, addressable conditions. The gap is the return. (Gap +45)
What's holding the 24 down

Deindustrialization / economic suppression
+8.7
Illegal property-tax over-assessment / foreclosure crisis
+11.5
Municipal-bankruptcy / assessor distrust

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. `foreclosure` and `trust` share the --risk (#f87171) semantic token since only five semantic colors are defined and this record has six factors; see docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/east-side-detroit.md for the color-reuse note. City/county-level ACS and Census figures are used as a proxy baseline for the Islandview-Van Dyke area specifically, since independently verified tract-level data for that exact neighborhood cluster was not pulled in this research pass — flag for a follow-up pass with Detroit Open Data Portal or City of Detroit neighborhood-profile tract data before any investor-facing use. Deliberately kept distinct from the existing Flint, MI record: Flint's signature factor is a deliberate, criminally-adjudicated water-contamination event; Detroit's signature factor here is the separately adjudication-adjacent property-tax over-assessment/foreclosure crisis. Two candidate factors were researched and dropped rather than shipped: (1) a CFPB Credit Invisibles / HMDA mortgage-denial-gap factor overlapped substantially with the housing-finance suppression channel already priced under `foreclosure`, so it was not shipped as a separate line to avoid double-counting the same channel — the underlying HMDA signal for the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn metro is real and would likely survive controls if shipped as its own factor in a future refinement pass; (2) an 'under-captured reach / Motown-era cultural lineage' factor was considered for the Reach/Cultural Signal domain, but Motown's historic Hitsville U.S.A. is on West Grand Boulevard, not the near east side, and no sourced, quantifiable royalty/ownership-capture dataset specific to this place was found, so it was dropped as a geographic/sourcing mismatch rather than invented.
