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.

Umbrella social-protection framework announced 27 March 2019 by the Imran Khan PTI government, consolidating pre-existing cash- transfer programmes (Benazir Income Support Programme rebranded Ehsaas Kafaalat, quarterly women cash transfers rising over programme life to roughly PKR 14,000/qtr for ~8m households), interest-free loan schemes (Ehsaas Interest-Free Loans), education conditional cash transfers, Langar community-kitchen infrastructure, Ehsaas Undergraduate Scholarship. Emergency-cash mode (April 2020) disbursed PKR 203bn to ~15m families during COVID, the largest single cash-transfer rollout in Pakistani history. Post-2022, coalition government reverted branding toward BISP while retaining programme architecture.
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.
