Size of cash and near-cash transfer programmes (unemployment benefits, means-tested assistance, universal child benefits). Architecturally distinct from forced-saving schemes — see condition welfare_architecture.
General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.

The Companies Act 2013 replaced the 1956 Act and modernised Indian corporate law, introducing a statutory mandate for "2% Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)" spending by qualifying firms, mandatory women directors, class-action rights, fast-track mergers, and the National Company Law Tribunal framework. The Act recalibrated the corporate-governance regime alongside accelerated ease-of-doing-business reforms.
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.
