Environmental regulation stringency — emissions caps, standards, phase-out mandates, carbon pricing, renewable portfolio standards.
Sector-specific licensing regimes, concentration / quota allocation, state-controlled entry (energy, telecoms, healthcare, banking).
Product-market regulation, entry barriers, licensing burdens, network-industry regulation, price controls.
Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
Directive (EU) 2024/1760 — the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) — requires large EU and qualifying non-EU companies to identify, prevent, and mitigate adverse human rights and environmental impacts across their chains of activity, adopt climate transition plans aligned with 1.5C, and faces civil liability for failures. Member states must transpose by 2026 with phased application by company size, enforced by national supervisory authorities.
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.
