Default Capital letters in a title...

A title like "Home-based", does the "b" in based need a capital "B"? Could someone give the rule of thumb?

thank you

hyphenated compounds
When capitalization is called for, always capitalize the first element. Capitalize the second element if it is a noun or a proper adjective or if it has equal force or value of the first element.
