General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
Security of private property rights — formal recognition, expropriation risk, titling systems.
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Plan Control Territorial (PCT) is the seven-phase security strategy launched by the Bukele administration on 20 Jun 2019, three weeks into the first term. Phases included territorial recovery (Phase I, large-scale deployment of Armed Forces and PNC into mara-controlled neighbourhoods), prison-system hardening (Phase II, gang-segregation across Izalco, Zacatecoluca and others, with the Feb 2020 "9F crisis" over the $109m security loan), public-space modernisation, youth-employment programming, and the construction of CECOT (Phase VII, operational Jan 2023). PCT preceded and framed the régimen de excepción of Mar 2022. Homicide rate declined from 38/100k in 2019 to 19.7/100k in 2020 (pre-régimen) — critics (InSight Crime, El Faro) allege a parallel undisclosed truce between the Bukele administration and gang leaderships documented via prison-visitor records and leaked messages, which supporters dispute.
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.
