Independence of the judiciary from executive and legislative encroachment. Specifically captures court-packing, selective prosecution, judicial reshuffles.
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Comprehensive plan unveiled 4 January 2023 by Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Constitution Committee chair Simcha Rothman to restructure the judiciary. Four core elements: (i) override clause permitting a 61-MK Knesset majority to re-enact statutes struck down by the Supreme Court; (ii) political control of the Judicial Selection Committee via coalition majority; (iii) elimination of the 'reasonableness' standard of judicial review over executive decisions; (iv) conversion of ministerial legal advisors from professional appointees to political ones. Triggered the largest protest movement in Israeli history (Kaplanist demonstrations), reservist refusals, and shekel / TA-125 capital-flight signals.
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.
