Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Independence of the judiciary from executive and legislative encroachment. Specifically captures court-packing, selective prosecution, judicial reshuffles.
After the September 2021 coup, Guinea's CNRD authorities issued a transition charter defining interim institutions, the role of the transition president, the National Transitional Council, transitional executive authority, and a process for drafting a new constitution and returning to constitutional order. It replaced the elected constitutional framework during the transition period.
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.
Coding captures the formal transition charter; it does not score later constitutional implementation or election timing.
