Capital × Community Trust

Amber dot = Rondo, St. Paul · dot size = latent gap (LV − CC) · click any dot to open its report.

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. Rondo's cultural legacy is actively kept alive today — the annual Rondo Days festival (est. 1982 by Rondo Avenue Inc.), the Rondo Community Outreach Library, and community efforts like the 'Remembering Rondo' History Harvest with Macalester College — but no sourced, quantifiable tourism-revenue, royalty, or brand-capture dataset was found this pass to price a reach-vs-retained-capital gap as a standalone factor, so it ships as documented context here rather than a scored factor (see kill-rule notes in docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/rondo-st-paul.md). All factor-level dollar figures (Census ACS tables B19013/B17001/B02001/B25003/B25003A/B25003B, CDC PLACES CASTHMA/DIABETES/ACCESS2) were pulled live this pass via the Census Reporter API and chronicdata.cdc.gov rather than sourced from prior training-data recall.
