General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Sector-specific licensing regimes, concentration / quota allocation, state-controlled entry (energy, telecoms, healthcare, banking).
Tô-Lâm-era administrative restructuring under the slogan 'lean — compact — strong — effective — efficient — efficacious' (tinh - gọn - mạnh - hiệu năng - hiệu lực - hiệu quả), announced late 2024 and accelerated through 2025. Programme consolidates ministries (merger of Planning & Investment with Finance; Information & Communications with Science & Technology; Labour-Invalids-Social Affairs substantially absorbed), dissolves several Party-state commissions, and prepares a sub-national consolidation round reducing the number of provincial-level units below the current 63 via province-and-district mergers planned for 2025-26. Announced target of 20% reduction in state-payroll headcount and an equivalent cut in Party-organ staffing. Framed as the most ambitious institutional restructuring since Đổi Mới and as prerequisite to the XIV Congress (Jan 2026) governance platform.
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.
