Product-market regulation, entry barriers, licensing burdens, network-industry regulation, price controls.
Statutory or administrative ceilings, freezes, margin caps, or mandated below-cost pass-through rules for goods and services outside housing. This axis separates direct price ceilings from general product-market entry regulation.
General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.

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.
