Value extraction events generate narrative about ecosystem success; narrative legitimises continued extraction by framing it as ecosystem contribution; uncertainty about whether extraction is harmful absorbed by the success narrative.

Stage 5 · Leverage hypothesis

"If one annual sector report (e.g., by Lincolnshire Food Partnership, P005, or GLLEP, P002) published dual metrics for anchor firms (P018): (a) GVA generated in region, (b) capital reinvested in region (equipment, facilities, local suppliers), it might make visible the difference between value generation (P003: £3.9bn GVA) and value retention, reducing the system's ability to absorb success signals via extraction narrative (Extracting) and success narrative...

Leverage hypotheses are testable perturbations, not prescriptions. Where demand-side behaviour is weakly visible, the correct move is observation — improving visibility before attempting change.

This is a structural profile, not a full diagnostic.

A full ClusterOS diagnostic adds actor questionnaire data, working sessions, and anchor interviews — producing higher-confidence stall identification, board-ready stack analysis, and leverage hypotheses calibrated to your specific context.
