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.
General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.

Yemen established the Social Fund for Development as a semi-autonomous poverty-reduction and community-project institution to cushion adjustment and finance local infrastructure, education, health, water, microfinance, and labour-intensive works. Backed by the government and donors, the fund became one of Yemen's main social-protection and service-delivery channels before and during later conflict.
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.
The fund's continued humanitarian role after 2014 does not imply unified current national governance.
