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.
General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
Unconditional cash-transfer programme created by Decreto 518 de 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, targeting ~3M poor and vulnerable households not covered by Familias en Acción, Jóvenes en Acción, Colombia Mayor, or Devolución de IVA. Initial monthly amount COP 160,000. Extended repeatedly through 2021 and made permanent under Ley 2155 de 2021 with amount scheduling tied to poverty-line indexation. Funded via the FOME emergency fund and general-budget appropriations; largest peacetime expansion of Colombia's social-transfer footprint.
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.
