Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Independence of the judiciary from executive and legislative encroachment. Specifically captures court-packing, selective prosecution, judicial reshuffles.
On 11 September 2024 the Yunus interim government constituted six reform commissions (Constitution, Electoral System, Judiciary, Police, Public Administration, Anti-Corruption Commission) with time-bound mandates to produce white-paper recommendations as input to an all-party dialogue and subsequent election. Commissions delivered interim reports in January-February 2025 covering bicameralism proposals, proportional representation options, judicial-appointment reform, and police-service restructuring. Scoring captures institutional direction rather than yet-legislated statutes.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
