The Swedish pension auto-balance mechanism (bromsen, 'the brake') was added to the NDC system to ensure long-run solvency by triggering automatic indexation cuts whenever the ratio of system assets to liabilities falls below 1. Activated in years following the 2008 crisis, it adjusts the pension annuity divisor and balance-sheet indexation to restore actuarial balance without legislative intervention, making Sweden's pension system self-stabilising.
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.
