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 City Region Deal reporting separated "value generated in region" from "value retained in region" (e.g. tracking where UKRI grant outputs are commercialized, where Innovation Park tenant IP is licensed), it might make extraction-vs-retention difference visible, potentially weakening extraction-as-success...

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.
