Targeted industrial and sectoral subsidies (renewable energy, chip manufacturing, agriculture, green hydrogen, etc).
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.
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Overnight on 15 Nov 2019 the Rouhani government tripled gasoline prices (from 10,000 to 30,000 rial/litre beyond a 60-litre/month subsidised quota) and announced a redistribution scheme directing ~60tn rial of savings to the poorest ~18m households via monthly cash transfers. Announcement triggered nationwide protests across 100+ cities. Security response included nationwide internet shutdown (16-22 Nov 2019). Death toll estimates from Amnesty/Reuters ranged from ~300 to ~1,500; thousands arrested. Policy was retained but its legitimacy damage to the Rouhani government was severe.
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.
