Capital × Community Trust

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. The invoking research brief also named the "Memphis Regional Megasite"; that site (now Ford's BlueOval City) is roughly 50 miles northeast of Memphis in Haywood/Fayette County and is not sited in or adjacent to South Memphis or Boxtown, so it was excluded from `env` as a geographic mismatch rather than forced in — see docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/south-memphis.md kill-rule notes. Coordinates are an approximate South Memphis/Boxtown centroid, not a single address.
