General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
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.
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
As part of Thailand's first 2009 fiscal stimulus response to the Global Financial Crisis, the Abhisit Democrat government issued one-off cheques of 2,000 baht to social-security members and low-income state employees earning under 15,000 baht per month. Disbursement through the Social Security Office and payroll channels was intended to deliver an immediate consumption boost amid collapsing export demand.
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.
