Sector-specific licensing regimes, concentration / quota allocation, state-controlled entry (energy, telecoms, healthcare, banking).
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.
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
The 25 January 1975 Confindustria–CGIL/CISL/UIL agreement (later codified by Law 38/1986) established the Scala Mobile, a uniform automatic wage-indexation mechanism whereby a flat lira-amount wage adjustment was added to all workers' pay packets each quarter to compensate for changes in a basket-of-goods price index. The scheme amplified the inflation pass-through from oil shocks, compressed wage differentials, and was progressively dismantled through the 1984 Craxi decree-law, the 1992 Amato accord and the 1993 Ciampi protocol.
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.
