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 history / non-resident workforce reliance
+2.7
Seasonal / absentee ownership (extractive capital)
+1.8
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 the Town of Palm Beach, which show median household income and median home value among the highest of any municipality in Florida and the nation — an affluent, high-capital barrier-island enclave, not a suppression showcase. quadrant.capital/trust are a qualitative placement, refine with the content owner: capital (92) reflects Palm Beach’s concentrated ultra-wealth and real-estate base; trust (30) reflects the exclusionary-history/non-resident-workforce factor and the seasonal/absentee-ownership factor as genuine low-cohesion/extractive signals, placing Palm Beach in the high-capital/low-trust EXTRACTIVE quadrant outside the Dharma Zone. Four candidate suppression-factor domains were researched and dropped under the kill rule as near-baseline or structurally inverted for an ultra-affluent barrier-island enclave: housing/appraisal bias (Palm Beach-area tracts were never subject to the redlining/appraisal-devaluation pattern documented in Bankhead and Durham — the opposite dynamic, historic and present-day over-valuation, applies), credit denial-rate gaps (HMDA data for Palm Beach-area tracts show denial rates at or below the county average, consistent with the area’s high-income, high-credit-quality applicant pool), health-care avoidance/distrust (CDC PLACES indicators plus dense, proximate high-end healthcare access show no avoidance or under-allocation signal), environmental burden (no EPA EJScreen pollution/siting flag or USDA food-desert designation; storm-surge/sea-level-rise exposure was considered but is a shared physical/climate risk affecting the whole barrier island, not an equity-based suppression signal, so it does not pass the kill rule as suppression), and data undercount (the town is well-surveyed in ACS estimates, with small margins of error at this income/response-rate level) — see docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/palm-beach-fl.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).
