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.
Landmark subsidy-reform law ratified 5 Jan 2010; Phase 1 implemented 19 Dec 2010 raising domestic petrol prices ~4x, diesel ~9x, and electricity/water 2-5x toward import-parity levels while launching universal cash transfers (~IRR 455,000/month per capita initial, roughly $45 at then-FX) to ~73m of Iran's ~75m population via newly opened bank accounts. Phase 2 (2014) stalled under Rouhani.
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.
