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.
Policy posture toward energy supply security — domestic production capacity, import diversification, strategic reserves, nuclear stance, fossil-fuel mix discipline.
Peak of Groningen/Slochterveld natural-gas revenue accruing to the Dutch state (FES fund precursor). Revenues fuelled current expenditure rather than capital savings, producing the textbook 'Dutch disease' — real exchange-rate appreciation, manufacturing contraction, transfer-programme expansion that became unsustainable when gas revenue waned. Canonical reference for natural-resource governance literature.
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.
