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. `econ` and `housing` share the --stress (#fb923c) semantic token since only five semantic colors are defined and this record has six factors (matching the Flint, MI precedent's `credit`/`trust` color-reuse note); see docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/saginaw-mi.md for the color-reuse note. Saginaw's UAW/auto-industry labor legacy and a standalone credit-market-exclusion factor are documented context for the city's disinvestment arc but are not shipped as their own quantifiable factors (see kill-rule notes).
