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; see docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/west-oakland.md for the color-reuse note. West Oakland is also gentrifying (rising home values, a new TOD development cluster near the West Oakland BART station at median household income $174,414 — excluded from the `econ` aggregate and flagged there rather than blended in) — this record deliberately models West Oakland in the SUPPRESSED bucket (the incumbent Black community's sourced, ongoing burden), not the OVER-REPRESENTED bucket used for Mission District, and does not ship a standalone 'displacement' factor to avoid double-counting the same gentrification story that `econ` already prices from the incumbent-community side; see docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/west-oakland.md kill-rule notes. West Oakland's deep blues/jazz musical heritage (the 7th Street corridor was a nationally significant West Coast blues and jazz scene) is documented cultural context but was not shipped as a standalone 'reach' factor for lack of a sourced, quantifiable royalty/ownership dataset, mirroring the Gary/Flint/Camden precedent.
