Independence of the judiciary from executive and legislative encroachment. Specifically captures court-packing, selective prosecution, judicial reshuffles.

General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
Negotiations during 2012–13 envisaged a USD 4.8bn Stand-By Arrangement to plug Egypt's widening external gap, conditional on subsidy reform, sales-tax broadening, and exchange-rate flexibility. The Morsi government repeatedly delayed politically costly conditions through the constitutional crisis, the deal was never finalised, and the package effectively lapsed before the July 2013 ouster.
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.
