Dharma verdict
86–96. Fully priced. Capital without trust.
Recommendation: pass. A gap of +5 — little latent value left to surface, and the trust base is missing. This is the extractive pattern, not the Dharma Zone. (Gap +5)
What's holding the 86 down
Exclusionary large-lot zoning / 8-30g affordable-housing shortfall
+3.4
Hedge-fund / finance capital concentration, limited local circulation
+1.1
CC 86 + uplift +5LV 86–96
Current Conditions 86 + sourced suppression +5 = Latent Value 86–96. Click any factor to see the receipt.

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. cc=86 is grounded in Census ACS 5-year estimates for Greenwich, which show median household income and median home value among the highest of any municipality in Connecticut and the nation (median household income roughly 1.8x the Connecticut statewide median, median home value roughly 4-5x the statewide median) — an archetypal ultra-wealthy, hedge-fund-concentrated enclave, not a suppression showcase. quadrant.capital/trust are a qualitative placement, refine with the content owner: capital (92) reflects Greenwich's concentrated hedge-fund/finance wealth and real-estate base; trust (32) reflects the 8-30g exclusionary-zoning shortfall and the outward-facing, extractive nature of the capital concentration as genuine low-cohesion signals, placing Greenwich in the high-capital/low-trust EXTRACTIVE quadrant outside the Dharma Zone. Six candidate suppression-factor domains were researched and dropped under the kill rule as near-baseline or inverted for an ultra-affluent finance enclave: housing/appraisal bias (Greenwich-area tracts were HOLC-graded favorably, the opposite of redlining), credit denial-rate gaps (HMDA data for Greenwich-area tracts show denial rates at or below the Fairfield County/state average, consistent with the area's high-income, high-credit-quality applicant pool), health-care avoidance (CDC PLACES indicators plus dense, proximate healthcare access, e.g. Greenwich Hospital and NYC-metro academic medical centers, show no avoidance signal), environmental burden (no EPA EJScreen pollution/siting flag or USDA food-desert designation for Greenwich census tracts), and data undercount / majority-baseline modeling (Greenwich is well-surveyed in ACS estimates, with small margins of error at this income/response-rate level, the structural opposite of an under-counted community) — see docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/greenwich-ct.md for the full kill-rule notes. Over-representation shown as low latent gap + extractive quadrant; the engine does not model LV<CC (over-valuation).
