Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.

Successful parliamentary vote of no-confidence passed by the Pakistan National Assembly 174-0 in the early hours of 10 April 2022, removing Prime Minister Imran Khan. First Pakistani prime minister removed by constitutional parliamentary mechanism rather than military coup or judicial disqualification. Preceded by Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri's dismissal of the motion (3 April) which the Supreme Court unanimously reversed (7 April) on Article-95 grounds, restoring the Assembly and ordering the vote. Shehbaz Sharif (PML-N) elected Prime Minister 11 April 2022 by the same body. Institutionally distinctive as the first executive transition via no-confidence in Pakistani history.
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.
