Three decree-laws by Economic Development Minister Pier Luigi Bersani under the Prodi II government — D.L. 223/2006 (4 July 2006), D.L. 7/2007 (Jan 2007) and D.L. 73/2007 (Jun 2007) — collectively known as the 'lenzuolate' ('bed-sheets' for their breadth). Measures included: abolition of minimum fees for lawyers and accountants, relaxation of pharmacy-opening rules permitting non-prescription drug sales in supermarkets, taxi-licence liberalisation (ultimately partly watered down), free bank-account switching, ban on early-termination penalties on mobile phone / broadband contracts, insurance-broker exclusive-dealing bans, and barber/hairdresser opening-hour deregulation.
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.
