COMPASS measures eight domains at census-tract level. When a tract falls below threshold, interventions activate automatically. Third Places rebuild the civic infrastructure that market forces alone won't provide.

Third Places Initiative
Neither home nor workplace — where community forms. Bowling alleys didn't close; they were never replaced.
Universal broadband as public utility. Every census tract. COMPASS connectivity domain auto-triggers deployment funding when access falls below threshold. Community health workers scaled via COMPASS health domain scores. Local governance capacity funded proportional to COMPASS civic domain gaps.
