De jure and de facto independence of the central bank from fiscal authority. Per D.1.5 scope, one of the framework's defensible monetary positions.

Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
After the January 1999 devaluation broke the crawling-peg anchor of the 1994 Real Plan, Decree 3088 formalised a Banco Central do Brasil inflation-targeting regime built on numerical CPI targets set by the Conselho Monetario Nacional, Copom-driven Selic-rate decisions, and an open-letter accountability mechanism.

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.
