In June 1979 the Revolutionary Council nationalised all private banks and insurance companies, followed by the August 1979 Law for the Protection and Development of Iranian Industries which transferred large manufacturing firms — typically those owned by the 51 families closest to the deposed monarchy — to state ownership. Article 44 of the 1979 constitution then codified state, cooperative and private sectors as separate spheres, with heavy industry, foreign trade, banking and major utilities reserved to public ownership.
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.
