General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
Sector-specific licensing regimes, concentration / quota allocation, state-controlled entry (energy, telecoms, healthcare, banking).
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
NEEDS (and state-level SEEDS + local LEEDS) formally adopted July 2004 as Nigeria's first comprehensive post-military economic reform programme. Four pillars: reorienting values, reducing poverty, wealth creation, employment generation. Benchmarked privatisation, public-service reform, fiscal discipline, anti- corruption. Backed by IMF Policy Support Instrument 17 October 2005 (non-financial).
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.
