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. `trust` and `credit` share the --risk (#f87171) semantic token since only five semantic colors are defined and this record has six factors, mirroring the West Oakland precedent's color-reuse note. Unlike Bankhead and West Oakland, Richmond, CA does not have a HOLC/Mapping Inequality redlining map (checked live against the full Mapping Inequality GeoJSON dataset, which surveys only eight California cities, none of them Richmond) — no redlining-grade claim is made here; see docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/richmond-ca.md Kill-rule notes for the explicit drop and the alternate housing-and-wealth-suppression grounding used instead (the WWII Kaiser Shipyards boom-bust and North Richmond's unincorporated status). A live CalEnviroScreen percentile pull for the `env` factor was not possible this research pass (oehha.ca.gov was unreachable/bot-protected from this environment); the factor is grounded instead in the CSB's Chevron Richmond Refinery Fire investigation, the Contra Costa County DA's 2016 no-contest plea, CARB's AB 617 designation, and BAAQMD Regulation 12 Rules 15-16 — all independently verifiable regulatory/litigation records — and this gap is flagged explicitly as a follow-up rather than papered over with an unverified percentile number.
