Following the 15 July 2016 coup attempt, the government declared OHAL (state of emergency) on 21 July 2016 and governed by KHK decree-law for 21 months until formal termination 19 July 2018. Under OHAL, the executive issued 32 KHK decrees dismissing approximately 125,000-150,000 public-sector employees, closing ~1,500 associations, foundations and media outlets, and placing ~600 firms under TMSF (Savings Deposit Insurance Fund) trusteeship. KHK measures enjoyed retrospective legal cover via statute and were exempted from Constitutional Court review per Art. 148.
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.
