General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
Progressivity of the personal income tax schedule, including top marginal rates, bracket spread, and targeted credits (EITC-equivalents).
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Burkina Faso created and funded the Fonds de soutien patriotique to finance the security and territorial-recovery effort, including support for Volunteers for the Defence of the Homeland and related emergency spending. The fund used earmarked levies and voluntary contributions on top of ordinary budget channels, making the counterinsurgency effort a dedicated fiscal instrument rather than only a line-item security appropriation.
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.
Public reporting on fund execution is incomplete; the entry codes the formal fiscal instrument and earmarked-security purpose.
