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. `credit` 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/flint-mi.md for the color-reuse note. Flint's auto-industry cultural/labor lineage and the specific emergency-management governance history that enabled the water-source switch are documented context for the city's disinvestment arc but are not shipped as their own quantifiable factors (see kill-rule notes).
