Dharma verdict
69–79. Suppressed, not low.
Recommendation: invest. A gap of +38 held down by sourced, addressable conditions. The gap is the return. (Gap +38)
What's holding the 36 down
Industrial zoning & TRI burden
+8.1
Urban heat-island exposure & heat-mortality risk
+7.0
Redlining legacy & highway/airport severance
+6.7
Economic suppression / concentrated poverty
+6.7
Care burden & material hardship
+6.5
Data undercount (low)

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 `heat` share the --stress (#fb923c) semantic token since only five semantic colors are defined and this record has six factors, mirroring the West Oakland/Richmond precedent's color-reuse note. cc=36 reflects South Phoenix's income running 68-75% of the Phoenix/Maricopa County medians, a poverty rate 1.7-2.1x the citywide/county rate, and the stacked, independently-sourced industrial-zoning, heat-mortality, redlining/displacement, and material-hardship factors documented above. lat/lng (33.406, -112.061) approximate the centroid of core South Phoenix (ZCTA 85040) between the Salt River and South Mountain. This record's `env`, `econ`, and `data` factors are grounded in datasets pulled live in this research pass (EPA Envirofacts TRI API, Census Reporter ACS API, CDC PLACES Socrata API, and a live check against the Mapping Inequality HOLC city registry); the `heat` and `housing` factors' core mechanisms are independently peer-reviewed/documented (Harlan et al. 2013 EHP; Luckingham 1994; Whitaker 2005; the Golden Gate Barrio history) but two specific claims — Maricopa County's current-year zip-level heat-death counts and the exact HOLC grade-polygon boundaries for South Phoenix specifically — could not be re-verified live this pass (the county's heat-surveillance report URL was retired/redirected; the HOLC GeoJSON polygon endpoint was intermittently unreachable), so both factors carry medium rather than high confidence per methodology.md rule 2, and the specific unverified claims are flagged rather than asserted as live-pulled.
