Size of cash and near-cash transfer programmes (unemployment benefits, means-tested assistance, universal child benefits). Architecturally distinct from forced-saving schemes — see condition welfare_architecture.
Progressivity of the personal income tax schedule, including top marginal rates, bracket spread, and targeted credits (EITC-equivalents).
General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
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.
Lei 12351/2010 created Brazil's "production-sharing" regime for pre-salt offshore oil reserves, replacing the prior concession model for fields in the strategic polygon. Petrobras was designated mandatory operator with a minimum 30% equity stake, Pre-Sal Petroleo SA (PPSA) was created to represent the federal government, and a Social Fund was established to capture royalty and profit-oil revenues for education, health, and innovation. Companion law 12734/2012 redistributed royalties toward non-producing states.
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.
