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.
Financial-sector regulation — banking separation, capital requirements, cross-border activity rules, derivatives oversight.
The Blair–Brown government's sustained NHS capacity programme delivered through the 2000 NHS Plan, the 2002 Wanless Review, and the 2004 Agenda for Change pay reform. Real-terms NHS spending grew at approximately 7% per annum across 2001–2010, financing new district general hospitals (often via PFI), expanded medical workforce numbers, reduced waiting times, and the introduction of NICE technology appraisals to manage cost-effectiveness.
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.
