COMMUNITY INTELLIGENCE  Â·  DECISION-GRADE BEHAVIORAL DATA Community Intelligence
Decision-grade behavioral data for the people, places, and programs that matter. A suite of behavioral indices, decision products, and service layers — built on sixteen years of scientific research, deployed across health, resilience, civic, conservation, and political contexts. This is what we do, and what each instrument is for. Demographics tell you who lives somewhere. Polls tell you what they say. Community Intelligence tells you what they will actually do — and through whom any message, investment, or program has permission to land. 174 real-time indicators. ZIP+4 precision. 89% predictive accuracy. Zero PII. The Portfolio — Indices, Decision Products, and Service Layers Three categories of work. The indices measure what is true about a community. The decision products turn those measurements into actionable calls. The service layers administer what comes next. BEHAVIORAL INDICES  Â·  WHAT WE MEASURE INDEX 01  Â·  RESILIENCE Survivability Indexâ„¢ Measures whether a community can sustain collective action across a program or investment cycle — not just adopt it in year one. Four dimensions: civic infrastructure density, adaptation history, trust network strength, and contextual flexibility. Deployed: Pittsburgh CPR  Â·  Milwaukee MMSD  Â·  WUI Insurance  Â·  Wisconsin CD-1 INDEX 02  Â·  EFFICIENCY Friction Indexâ„¢ Measures what conventional outreach wastes — and what the trust network recovers. Friction = 100% minus conventional reach. DELTA = network reach minus conventional reach. Both are largest in the communities where the need is greatest. Westover proof: TO 26  Â·  Conventional reach 8%  Â·  Network reach 70%  Â·  DELTA 61 pts ↓   Indices feed the decision products   ↓ DECISION PRODUCTS  Â·  WHAT THE INDICES PRODUCE PRODUCT 01  Â·  ALLOCATION Trust Architecture Read The behavioral read that turns a Trust Orientation score into a decision — by mapping it against neighborhood fit type. The distinction no other platform makes: in a Hybrid neighborhood, high TO is an open door. In a Guardian neighborhood, the same score is a well-maintained wall. Spend, Avoid, or Conditional — with one trust reason per neighborhood. PRODUCT 02  Â·  MEDIA ROI Spend/Avoid Map + Media ROI The Trust Architecture Read translated into dollar terms — for any program, campaign, or investment budget. Friction in dollars: how much of the current spend is bouncing, per neighborhood, per channel. DELTA in dollars: how much effective reach the trust network recovers for the same spend. The budget protection argument, quantified before a dollar moves. ↓   Decision products are supported by service layers   ↓ SERVICE LAYERS  Â·  WHAT WE ADMINISTER ALONGSIDE THE DATA SERVICE LAYER 01  Â·  GOVERNANCE Serve Accountability Architecture The ethical and legal governance framework that makes the engagement defensible. Three verbs kept separate: Spend (legitimate partisan advocacy), Serve (unconditional civic repair keyed to community needs, never to how it votes), Avoid (do not waste persuasion — never do not help). Every Avoid neighborhood receives a Serve commitment. That cell must never read GAP. Political clients only  Â·  Structural proof that no community was declined help because of how it votes SERVICE LAYER 02  Â·  COMMUNICATIONS Trust-Based Communications Authentic Messenger identification, channel selection, message sequencing, and communications administration — delivered through RFUTR and billed separately from the data products. The answer to: we know where to go and through whom. Now who actually carries the message, on which channel, in what sequence, with what asset? Trust-Routed Communications is how the behavioral read becomes a deployed campaign.

Integrated into resilience bond structure. WISCONSIN CD-1 10+ Cities resolvable to Spend/Avoid Maps from the existing behavioral substrate. Every city you hand us produces the same decision map. ON DATA ETHICS €” NON-NEGOTIABLE Zero personally identifiable information is collected, stored, or used at any stage across all products and services. The unit of analysis is always the community — never the person. Every behavioral signal is derived from publicly available, aggregated data auditable by any skeptic in the room. An Avoid call for outreach is never an Avoid for community investment. Every neighborhood declined for persuasion receives a corresponding Serve commitment. The ethical architecture is structural — not a promise, a gate condition with a documented record. The behavioral read does not diminish communities. It sees them clearly — often more clearly than any prior analysis they've received. A Critical-band Survivability score is not a verdict. It is a map of where the right investment produces the largest impact. COMMUNITY INTELLIGENCE  Â·  THE TRUST HORIZON A CI REFRAME  Â·  THE QUESTION EVERYONE IS ASKING WRONG The Trust Horizon Not who can be moved. Who is already facing toward you — and how far they can go. Every campaign, program, and capital deployment wants to know the same thing: who in this community can we actually reach? The answer they've been getting — the "moveable middle" — is a demographic estimate. What they need is a behavioral map. These are not the same thing. THE CONVENTIONAL ANSWER 11–20% persuadable The standard moveable middle estimate from political and civic data vendors. Derived from demographic modeling and survey response patterns. Tells you a percentage. Tells you nothing about who, through whom, or how far. vs. WHAT CI CONSISTENTLY FINDS 18–40% reachable Derived from behavioral substrate — Trust Orientation, Elasticity, civic infrastructure density. Tells you the range, the geography, the messengers, and the sequencing. The gap isn't methodology. It's the question being asked. 01 The Trust Horizon — What Contains Everything Else Before anyone asks who can be moved, there is a prior question: what is the outer boundary of where trust can travel in this community at all? The Trust Horizon is that boundary — the edge of what is behaviorally possible this cycle, given the current state of a community's civic infrastructure, institutional relationships, and relational networks. It is not a fixed line. Communities with high Trust Elasticity can expand their horizon quickly under the right conditions. Communities in Stage 1 Social Default have a horizon contracted close to their existing peer networks — not because change is impossible, but because institutional approaches cannot breach it. The horizon tells you where trust lives before you decide where to aim. THE TRUST HORIZON · OUTER BOUNDARY The full community — everyone the program, campaign, or investment touches TRUST-READY POPULATION · THE STUDY The people whose trust architecture is currently open to receiving what you're bringing Not a demographic. A behavioral condition. These are the residents whose Trust Orientation, civic engagement patterns, and social connections indicate they are positioned to hear, process, and act on what this program or investment is asking. CI studies this population before anyone deploys. HIGH-YIELD ZONE · WHERE READY MEETS REACHABLE The overlap where behavioral capacity and accessible channels converge The trust-ready population who can also be reached through identified authentic messengers this cycle. This is the activation geography. Not everyone in it will move — but everyone who moves will come from it. The Responsive Layer The people and networks ready to receive, act, and sustain — now The Trust Horizon is not a ceiling. It is a read of current conditions. Every community has more capacity than its institutional engagement history suggests — because institutions have been using the wrong channels to measure it. 02 Four Lenses on the Same Community CI doesn't produce a single moveable middle estimate. It produces four distinct reads of the same behavioral reality — each answering a different question, each required to understand the full picture. 01 LENS ONE  Â·  THE FRAME Trust Horizon The outer boundary of behavioral possibility in this community this cycle. Not everyone is reachable — but significantly more people are than any demographic model shows. The Trust Horizon tells you where the outer edge of that possibility actually sits, and what would need to change to expand it. Determined by: Trust Orientation, Civic Infrastructure Density, Adaptation History, Social Default stage. Used for: Scoping any deployment before a dollar is committed 02 LENS TWO  Â·  THE STUDY Trust-Ready Population The subset of the community whose behavioral architecture is currently positioned to receive what's being asked of them. Not enthusiasm. Not survey response. The behavioral indicators — civic participation patterns, peer network engagement, information routing behavior — that show a person is already facing toward the ask before it arrives. This is what CI measures that no poll can: not what people say they'll do, but whether the structural conditions for doing it exist in their social world. Used for: Targeting, sequencing, and messenger identification 03 LENS THREE  Â·  THE MEASURE Elasticity How far the trust architecture can move from its current position when approached correctly. A community with low Trust Orientation (TO) but high Trust Elasticity (TE) is not a closed community — it is a community that will move significantly once the right channel is found. Lincoln-King in Racine: TO 36, TE 78. Looks closed. Highest elasticity return in the corridor. Elasticity is the depth dimension — not whether the community is reachable, but how far it can travel. Measured through the Contextual Flexibility Index (CFI) and Trust Elasticity score alongside Trust Orientation. Used for: Prioritizing high-return geographies, CFI sequencing 04 LENS FOUR  Â·  THE OUTPUT High-Yield Zones Where Trust-Ready Population, Elasticity, and Reachability converge. The geography inside the Trust Horizon where CI's behavioral data shows the highest return on trust-routed investment — where the right messenger carrying the right message through the right channel produces the largest behavioral shift for the least friction. This is what everyone is actually trying to find when they ask about the moveable middle. Not a percentage. A map. Used for: Resource allocation, campaign targeting, capital sequencing 03 Ready vs. Reachable — The Distinction That Changes Everything The most expensive mistake in civic organizing, public health deployment, and conservation investment is treating Ready and Reachable as the same thing. They are not. A community can be one without the other — and deploying into either condition without understanding the distinction produces predictable failure. CONDITION ONE Ready The community has the internal civic infrastructure to sustain what's being asked of it over time. The social fabric is strong enough to hold a commitment across a program cycle, a grant period, or a multi-year investment horizon. People who adopt will maintain. A Ready community won't necessarily move through conventional channels. Ready is about capacity, not accessibility. It answers: if we reach them, will it hold? CI Instrument: Survivability Indexâ„¢ · Community Readiness Indexâ„¢ Key variables: Civic infrastructure density · Adaptation history · CFI stage CONDITION TWO Reachable The specific people in this community can be accessed through identified authentic messengers and channels that have permission to land right now. The Trust Orientation is positioned, the relational pathways are active, and the Authentic Messenger Registry identifies the individuals whose word actually travels. A Reachable community won't necessarily sustain. Reachable is about access, not capacity. It answers: can we get there from here, this cycle? CI Instrument: Friction Indexâ„¢ · Trust Architecture Read Key variables: Trust Orientation · Authentic Messenger Registry · DELTA THE GAP THAT KILLS PROGRAMS Reachable but not Ready produces adoption without maintenance. Ready but not Reachable produces capacity without activation. A health program deployed into a community that is Reachable but not Ready achieves strong initial uptake — and then collapses eighteen months later when the grant ends and the institutional scaffolding is removed. A conservation investment in a community that is Ready but not Reachable uses the wrong messengers and channels — and hits a Social Default wall regardless of the community's genuine underlying capacity. CI maps both conditions before deployment, so that sequencing matches reality. 04 Elasticity in Practice — Live Wisconsin Data Trust Elasticity is the measure of how far a community's trust architecture can move from its current position when approached through the right channel. It is what separates a community that appears closed from one that is genuinely inaccessible. The following are real readings from the Wisconsin CD-1 substrate. GEOGRAPHY TRUST ORIENTATION TRUST ELASTICITY WHAT ELASTICITY REVEALS Lincoln-King · Racine Disinvestment Hybrid TO 36 looks closed TE 78 highest in corridor TO 36 reads as a low-trust, hard-to-reach community. TE 78 reveals enormous latent capacity — this community will move significantly when approached through the faith institution anchor, sequenced correctly. Not closed. Coiled. Uptown · Kenosha Hybrid · Quiet Safety High High High Trust Orientation in a Hybrid neighborhood is an open door. High Elasticity means the community can absorb a wide range of asks — from easy (workshop attendance) through medium (advocacy) — without stalling. Core spend tier. Lance · Kenosha Group-2 Community Guardian TO 58 âš  highest in city Low — organized wall, not door High TO in a Guardian neighborhood is not high elasticity — it is a well-maintained wall. The community is organized and stable in its resistance. Elasticity here would require fundamental trust repair before any program entry is viable. Avoid for persuasion this cycle. TO-39 Cluster · Racine 13+ neighborhoods · uniform 39 × 13 Low — structural system failure The uniformity of the TO score across 13 geographies is the finding. One disinvestment pattern. Low elasticity across all of them because the structural cause is the same. Repair is systemic — not neighborhood by neighborhood. This cycle: avoid. Next cycle: rebuild the substrate. Elasticity is why two communities with identical Trust Orientation scores require completely different strategies. The number alone tells you where a community stands. Elasticity tells you where it can go — and what it takes to get it there. THE OUTPUT High-Yield Zones Where Ready, Reachable, and Elastic converge. A High-Yield Zone is not a demographic. It is a behavioral geography — the specific overlap inside the Trust Horizon where the trust-ready population is concentrated, authentic messengers are identifiable, and the community's elasticity can carry the ask all the way to durable behavioral adoption. This is what CI hands you that no other instrument can. CONDITION 1 Ready Infrastructure The civic fabric is strong enough to sustain commitment over the program or investment horizon. Survivability Index in the capable-to-generative band. CFI at medium or above. CONDITION 2 Identified Messengers The Authentic Messenger Registry has identified the 12–30 people per geography whose word already travels through the trust network. The routing architecture exists and is deployable. CONDITION 3 Elastic Capacity Trust Elasticity is high enough that the community can move from its current position to the behavioral commitment being asked — not just initial adoption, but sustained stewardship. 05 The Responsive Layer — What You Find There Once CI has mapped the Trust Horizon, studied the Trust-Ready Population, measured Elasticity, and identified the High-Yield Zones — what you find at the center of that map is the Responsive Layer. Not a percentage. Not a demographic. A set of real people, real relationships, and real channels that are already oriented toward what you're bringing — and whose activation produces the behavioral shift that every program, campaign, and investment is trying to achieve. THE ACTIONABLE OUTPUT The Responsive Layer Authentic Messenger Registry Channel routing map Sequencing plan High-Yield Zone map Elasticity scores Trust-Based Communications brief The Responsive Layer is what CI hands to Trust-Based Communications — the service layer that turns the behavioral map into a deployed strategy. Who carries the message. Which channels have permission. What sequence produces durable adoption rather than initial spike and abandonment. It is the people the community already trusts with something this consequential. Not the loudest voices. Not the official liaisons. The dock captains and faith leaders and neighborhood anchors whose relationships already travel through the trust network — and who, when activated through the right ask, can move their communities further than any institutional outreach program has ever reached. The Responsive Layer is not manufactured. It exists in every community. CI finds it. Trust-Based Communications activates it. 06 What This Looks Like When It Works PITTSBURGH · HILL DISTRICT 38→74% CPR adoption in 26 days. CI identified the Trust-Ready Population, found the Authentic Messengers in the High-Yield Zone, and routed through them. The Responsive Layer was already there. Nobody had found it. LINCOLN-KING · RACINE TE 78 TO 36 looks like a closed door. Trust Elasticity of 78 reveals the highest behavioral yield in the Racine corridor — available only through correct sequencing. The community was Ready and Reachable. It had just never been read correctly. DC WARD 7/8 14/86 Trust Orientation 14/86 — deeply horizontal. Every institutional outreach campaign had missed this community. The Trust Horizon was wide. The Responsive Layer was enormous. The channel was just wrong. In every case, the community was not the problem. The read was the problem. The Trust Horizon was always wider than the institutional approach could see. CI sees the whole horizon — and maps the path from the edge to the center. The moveable middle is a percentage. The Trust Horizon is a map. One tells you how many. The other tells you who, where, through whom, in what sequence — and how far they can actually go. COMMUNITY INTELLIGENCE  Â·  THE FRICTION METRIC Where This Came From For two years, RFUTR and PathSight have been mapping how trust moves through communities — not what people say, but how information actually travels, who it travels through, and what determines whether it lands. In the course of building and deploying Community Intelligence across health, civic, resilience, and conservation contexts, a pattern kept appearing in the data. The communities with the lowest Trust Orientation scores — the ones running the deepest on horizontal, peer-to-peer trust and the most resistant to institutional channels — were also the communities where standard outreach consistently failed. Mailers. PSAs. Clinic notices. Government programs. Every institution knew the pattern. Nobody had quantified it. In Westover — Trust Orientation score 26 — a standard institutional outreach effort reached 8 of every 100 residents. The other 92 were unreached. Not unreachable. Just invisible to the delivery channel being used. When the same message traveled through the trust network — Bridge Nodes, recovery specialists, pastors, the CPR mechanism — it reached 70 of every 100. That gap — 8% versus 70% — is not a communications problem. It is a routing problem. And once you can measure it, you can price it. The Friction Metric is what emerged from making that gap visible and quantifiable for the first time. The Six Variables Each neighborhood gets a row. Each row tells the same story in six numbers — moving from the behavioral condition to the dollars wasted to the dollars recovered. VARIABLE 1 Trust Orientation (TO) The behavioral score that anchors everything. Above ~40: mixed channels work — both formal and informal paths reach people. Below 40: personal networks rule. Only relational, person-to-person paths reach anyone. The TO score determines the delivery rule for every other variable. VARIABLE 2 Conventional Reach The share of a standard institution-led effort — mailer, clinic notice, PSA — that actually lands in that neighborhood. In high-TO communities this is high. In low-TO communities this collapses. Westover: 8%. The number that tells you whether your default delivery strategy has any traction here at all. VARIABLE 3 Network Reach The share reached when delivery goes through the trust network instead — Bridge Nodes, Authentic Messengers, peer validators the community already listens to. Westover: 70%. The trust architecture penetrates where institutions cannot. VARIABLE 4 €” THE PROBLEM Friction (Wasted) Friction = 100% − Conventional Reach. The share of the conventional effort that is wasted because it doesn't reach. Westover: 92%. This is the number that makes a funder wince — and it is highest exactly where the need is greatest. VARIABLE 5 €” THE SOLUTION DELTA (Recovered) DELTA = Network Reach − Conventional Reach. The gain from switching to network delivery. Westover: 61 points. The headline metric. The reachability the trust network recovers that conventional delivery left on the table. Largest where conventional delivery fails worst. VARIABLE 6 Dollar Translation Friction and DELTA translated into dollars using any program's actual per-neighborhood spend. At an illustrative $50K spend: Westover wastes ~$46K on conventional delivery and recovers ~$30K in effective reach through the network. Applied to a city's actual budget, these are real numbers — not projections. Friction × DELTA by Neighborhood ILLUSTRATIVE MODEL · $50K PER NEIGHBORHOOD SPEND Directional findings · Actual figures require CI deployment against program budget NEIGHBORHOOD TO SCORE DELIVERY RULE CONV. REACH FRICTION –² (WASTED) NETWORK REACH DELTA –² (RECOVERED) $ WASTED CONV. $ RECOVERED NETWORK Westover 26 Personal networks only 8% 92% 70% +61 pts $45,800 $30,640 Eastdale 34 Personal networks only 18% 82% 62% +44 pts $41,000 $22,000 Millbrook 41 Mixed channels 38% 62% 58% +20 pts $31,000 $10,000 Harborview 52 Mixed channels 55% 45% 68% +13 pts $22,500 $6,500 Northgate 68 Mixed channels 72% 28% 80% +8 pts $14,000 $4,000 WHAT THIS SHOWS Read the table from top to bottom and a single pattern emerges: as Trust Orientation falls, Friction rises — and so does the DELTA. The neighborhoods with the lowest trust scores are wasting the most on conventional delivery, and gaining the most by switching to network delivery. These are the same neighborhoods. This is not a coincidence. It is the behavioral reality that has always been present in the data — in utilization numbers, in turnout records, in stewardship failures — but never given a name, a column, or a dollar figure. The Friction Metric names it. The implication for any city running a public health program, a green infrastructure initiative, a civic engagement campaign, or a resilience investment: you are concentrating your conventional spend in the neighborhoods where it wastes the most. CI maps the routing that recovers it. âš  The dollar figures above apply an illustrative $50K per-neighborhood spend to demonstrate the framework. They are directional findings, not verified actuarial data. Actual waste and recovery figures for any program require CI deployment against that program's specific budget and geography. The behavioral relationships — that Friction rises as TO falls, and DELTA rises as Friction rises — are consistent across every deployment context to date. ON PRIVACY AND DATA ETHICS Everything derived from aggregate behavioral signals. Zero personally identifiable information collected, stored, or used. No individual named, tracked, or profiled. The unit of analysis is always the community. We find the right messengers without collecting a single piece of personal data. The behavioral signal lives at the community level — which is also where it is most accurate. Individual data is noisy. Community behavioral architecture is stable, measurable, and predictive. COMMUNITY INTELLIGENCE  Â·  SURVIVABILITY INDEX„¢ The Question No Other Model Asks A green infrastructure investment can be engineered correctly, funded adequately, and installed on schedule — and still fail in year three when the community stops maintaining it. A public health program can achieve strong initial adoption and collapse eighteen months later when the grant ends and the institutional support withdraws. A resilience initiative can be celebrated at launch and abandoned before it's ever tested. These are not engineering failures or funding failures. They are behavioral failures — and they were predictable before a dollar was committed. The behavioral conditions required for sustained collective action either exist in a community or they don't. Survivability Indexâ„¢ measures which. Survivability answers the question physical models cannot: not whether this community is at risk, but whether it can sustain the response the investment requires. That is the variable that has always been in the outcome data — and has never been in the model. The Score — What It Means Survivability runs 0–100. The score reflects the integrated behavioral capacity of a community across four dimensions. It is not a rating of the community — it is a read of conditions that can change, and that we track as they do. SURVIVABILITY SCORE €” FOUR BANDS 0–25 CRITICAL Civic connective tissue functionally gone. CPR sequence must begin from Connect before any programmatic ask. 26–45 STRAINED Workable but fragile. Adoption possible; maintenance unlikely without behavioral infrastructure support. 46–70 CAPABLE Sufficient infrastructure for medium-CFI asks. Standard programs land with correct sequencing. 71–100 GENERATIVE Hard-CFI capable. Community can sustain long-term stewardship, lead advocacy, absorb transition. Racine, Wisconsin Social Capital score: 20 (Critical)  Â·  Kenosha: 34 (Strained)  Â·  Same county-level data treated them identically. ZIP+4 precision surfaces what aggregate models miss. Four Dimensions — One Integrated Score Each dimension is derived from aggregate behavioral signals — publicly auditable, zero PII at any stage. The score is the integration of all four, weighted by context. DIMENSION 1 Civic Infrastructure Density Functional institutions per capita: mutual aid networks, neighborhood associations, emergency response capacity. The structural skeleton of behavioral resilience. Measured from participation rates, not from directories. DIMENSION 2 Adaptation History Did this community prepare before prior hazard events — or wait and respond? Past behavioral patterns are the strongest predictor of future ones. Communities that prepared once prepare again. Communities that didn't, don't. DIMENSION 3 Trust Network Strength How collective action mobilizes under stress. Horizontal peer networks versus vertical institutional channels. Determines whether a mobilization message actually reaches the people it needs to reach — and whether they act on it. DIMENSION 4 Contextual Flexibility Index (CFI) The community's demonstrated capacity to move through behavioral ask stages — from easy through medium to hard. Communities that skip stages fail. CFI shows which stage they're actually in, before you ask them to do something they can't yet sustain. The CFI Sequence — Why Stages Cannot Be Skipped Survivability includes a behavioral adoption sequence that determines which kinds of asks a community can absorb. Every community is somewhere in this sequence. Asking for stage three behavior from a stage one community produces initial adoption and subsequent abandonment — the pattern that generates the stewardship failure claims insurers are already pricing without knowing why. STAGE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHY IT MATTERS Easy CFI Attends workshop. Installs rain barrel. Joins community emergency team. Low commitment, immediate benefit. Most communities can reach this stage. Baseline adoption signal — but not a predictor of sustained behavior. Medium CFI Commits to flood insurance. Advocates at city council. Participates in watershed planning. Requires trust in external expertise and delayed benefit. Where most programs stall. The 40% ceiling that well-designed programs keep hitting without knowing why. Hard CFI Floodplain reconnection. Rejecting familiar development for nature-based solutions. Leading politically contested resilience initiatives. Identity and economic risk. Only high-Survivability communities reach this stage reliably. Where physical risk models diverge most sharply from behavioral reality. Where It Has Been Deployed PITTSBURGH · HILL DISTRICT · PUBLIC HEALTH Low-Survivability community, institutional trust collapsed Standard program stuck at 38% CPR adoption for years. Survivability read showed Critical-band civic infrastructure. Routing through Authentic Messengers bypassed the institutional channel entirely. CPR adoption: 38% → 74% in 26 days. Same program, behavioral routing the only variable changed. Documented. MILWAUKEE · MMSD · GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE $84M watershed investment — behavioral readiness mapped alongside engineering surveys Two adjacent corridors with divergent Survivability scores. One carried stewardship capacity. One showed Social Default conditions — adoption without maintenance as the predicted failure mode. Live client. Survivability Index being integrated into MMSD resilience bond structure. WISCONSIN CD-1 · CIVIC Racine (20 · Critical) vs. Kenosha (34 · Strained) Same electoral geography. Same county-level demographic data. Completely different behavioral infrastructure. County-level models treated them identically. ZIP+4 Survivability scoring shows they require entirely different strategies. Active study. Deployable across full CD-1 district. WUI COMMUNITIES · INSURANCE RESILIENCE Behavioral readiness as actuarial underwriting variable Low-Survivability communities in high-physical-risk zones show consistent failure to adopt mitigation subsidies across multiple grant cycles — the stewardship failure pattern that generates claims insurers are pricing without understanding. Directional finding. Actuarial quantification in development with Milliman. âš  Deployment figures represent verified outcomes (Pittsburgh) and live client engagements (MMSD). WUI findings are directional — actuarial quantification is in development and pending co-verification. We name which claims are documented and which are developing. Every Survivability score is derived from aggregate behavioral signals. Zero personally identifiable information collected, stored, or used at any stage. The unit of analysis is always the community — never the person. Data streams: civic participation rates, health program utilization, economic behavioral indicators, electoral engagement, infrastructure use patterns. All publicly available, all auditable. The score is not a judgment about a community. It is a read of current conditions — conditions that change, and that we track as they do. A Critical-band community is not a failed community. It is a community where the right sequence of behavioral investment produces the strongest returns. The highest Friction is always where the highest DELTA lives. The same is true here: the lowest Survivability scores mark the communities where the right intervention produces the largest measurable impact. COMMUNITY INTELLIGENCE  Â·  TRUST ARCHITECTURE READ The Distinction That Changes Every Decision Trust Orientation measures where a community banks its trust — vertically through institutions, or horizontally through peer networks. That is a real and important variable. But what the number means depends entirely on the type of community you are reading it in. In a Hybrid neighborhood, high Trust Orientation is an open door. In a Group-2 Community Guardian neighborhood, the same number is a well-maintained wall. The wall is not opposition to the message — it is organized resistance to the messenger category. Spending through the wrong channel in a Guardian neighborhood doesn't just fail. It actively strengthens the opposition. HYBRID NEIGHBORHOOD High TO = Open Door Universalist values sit under a protective surface. Correctly sequenced activity is absorbed. The community is reachable through the right channel at the right time. Spend here. The dollar lands and compounds. GROUP-2 COMMUNITY GUARDIAN High TO = Well-Maintained Wall The community is organized — not disengaged. High TO here means the resistance is coherent and ready. Spending there does not move the community. It funds the opposition. The same dollar, in the wrong neighborhood type, actively works against you. Lance, Kenosha — TO 58, the highest score in the city. Every platform that reads TO as a single variable flags this as a high-engagement target. The Trust Architecture Read calls it Avoid. That single distinction, applied before a dollar moves, is worth more than any field operation correction after the fact. The Fit Types — What Each Neighborhood Actually Is Every neighborhood resolves to a fit type. The fit type is the lens through which the Trust Orientation score is read. Four primary types, each with a distinct behavioral signature and a distinct strategy. TYPE 1 Hybrid Group-1 universalist values under a Group-2 protective surface. The inner layer is aligned; the surface needs sequencing. Correctly approached, high return. The spend tier. Uptown, Kenosha and Wilson/Columbus/Lincoln Park are Hybrid neighborhoods. TYPE 2 Community Guardian Pure Group-2 neighborhood. Organized around protection of community identity and values. High TO is a well-maintained wall. Cannot be reached through institutional channels or standard outreach. Avoid for persuasion; Serve for needs. TYPE 3 Disinvestment Hybrid (DH) Hybrid neighborhood under sustained disinvestment pressure. Trust Orientation appears low — but Trust Elasticity reveals high latent capacity. Lincoln-King, Racine: TO 36, TE 78. Looks closed; behaviorally it's the highest elasticity return in the corridor. Must be sequenced correctly. TYPE 4 Faith-Anchored Conditional Guardian surface with a Bridge Node present — typically a faith institution that crosses the Group-1/Group-2 divide. Not an open door for standard outreach. The entry is through the faith channel only. Saint Peter's, Kenosha: pure Guardian, but the parish is the bridge. Wrong door, wasted dollar. Right door, genuine access. The Deliverable — What You Receive For every neighborhood in a geography, the Trust Architecture Read returns three elements. This is the base deliverable — produced at the neighborhood level, across any city or district. One: A Spend / Avoid / Conditional signal. A decision, not a score to be interpreted. Two: The one-line trust reason — the specific behavioral condition that produced the call. Three: The serve vehicle — what unconditional civic engagement looks like for neighborhoods where persuasion is not appropriate this cycle. Racine and Kenosha — The Full Array Both cities are fully scored. What follows is the complete deliverable — every neighborhood, every call, every trust reason. This is what the product looks like. KENOSHA NEIGHBORHOOD TO SIGNAL TRUST REASON Uptown Hybrid · Quiet Safety — SPEND Hybrid inner layer aligned. Safety-investment vehicle is the generative-trust entry. High return spend. Wilson · Columbus · Lincoln Park Hybrid · Progressive Steward — SPEND Group-1 universalist values under Group-2 surface. Reachable through Collective Affirmation once foundation is set. Saint Peter's Group-2 · Faith-Anchored 52 CONDITIONAL Pure Guardian surface — but the parish is a Bridge Node. Spend only through the faith channel. Wrong door, wasted dollar. Bain Park · Jamestown Hybrid · dual signal 35 CONDITIONAL Dual amelioration signal. Commit only if cycle timeline allows sequencing; otherwise hold. Lance Group-2 Community Guardian 58 âš  AVOID Highest TO in the city — and that is the warning, not the opening. Spending here funds organized resistance against you. Nash · McKinley · Endee · Washington Group-2 Community Guardian 27–35 AVOID Retracted rigidity — closed even to itself. Low TO here is not opportunity; it is a community that conventional outreach cannot enter. RACINE NEIGHBORHOOD TO SIGNAL TRUST REASON Prospect Heights Hybrid · bridge architecture — SPEND Load-bearing anchor. Bridge node present before us. Every other move sequences from here. Lincoln-King Disinvestment Hybrid · Progressive Steward TO 36 · TE 78 SPEND TO 36 looks closed; TE 78 says otherwise. Highest elasticity return in the corridor. Sequence third — generative deposit first, no ask. West Lawn Group-2 · highest inward TO 42 CONDITIONAL Entry point to deeper Racine. Relational channels still present. Identification first — find whose word travels — before any outreach. TO-39 Cluster (13+ neighborhoods) Group-2 Guardian · uniform 39 ×13 AVOID Uniformity is the finding: one disinvestment pattern across thirteen geographies. Not reachable this cycle. The TO-39 cluster uniformity is a structural finding, not thirteen separate neighborhood problems. When thirteen neighborhoods score identically, they were pushed there by the same forces. The repair is systemic, not neighborhood-by-neighborhood — and the campaign cannot accelerate it this cycle. KENOSHA €” THE READ Legible Distinct neighborhood identities. Clean array. Spend tier is the Hybrid and ameliorated cluster. Avoid tier is the pure Guardian core regardless of TO score. A city that rewards correctly sequenced investment. RACINE €” THE READ Fragmented Thirty neighborhood identities where there should be a handful. The fragmentation itself is the finding — disinvestment broke the civic connective tissue unevenly. Spend concentrates into a few load-bearing anchors. The TO-39 cluster is avoid-for-now across 13 geographies. The Trust Architecture Read is derived from aggregate behavioral signals at the neighborhood and ward level only. No surveys. No individual profiling. No PII collected, stored, or used at any stage. The behavioral substrate reads from five independent public streams: civic, health, economic, electoral, infrastructure. The fit type classification traces back to the same publicly auditable data. An Avoid call for persuasion is never an Avoid for community investment. Every neighborhood placed in the Avoid tier for outreach receives a corresponding Serve vehicle — unconditional civic repair keyed to actual community needs, not to how it votes. The Serve Accountability Architecture ensures that no community is declined help because of how it votes. That structural discipline is what makes this engagement defensible.
