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.
Emergency cash-transfer programme launched April 2020 under the Ehsaas umbrella in response to COVID lockdown income shocks. Disbursed PKR 12,000 to approximately 15 million households (~PKR 203bn total) via SMS-registration and NADRA biometric eligibility checks at branchless-banking points. Largest single cash-transfer rollout in Pakistan's history. Complemented by SBP Temporary Economic Refinance Facility and Rozgar wage-support scheme for formal-sector employers. Targeted-lockdown policy framework kept partial-economy operation through the first pandemic wave.
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.
