Reform Progress

Three readings of the same 171 ideas: where each one stands, a published composite index of that status, and which reforms the network analysis says matter most.

Policy Analytics

Network analysis of reform dependencies and parliamentary momentum indicators across South Africa’s five reform packages.

Keystone Reforms

Reforms ranked by network centrality in the dependency graph — combining betweenness centrality (how often a reform lies on the shortest path between others) and PageRank (how many high-value reforms depend on it). High scores identify “keystone” reforms where progress creates the most downstream unlocking.

Reform Momentum

Reforms ranked by parliamentary salience — a composite of how frequently each idea has been raised in committee hearings (times raised), how recently it was discussed (recency weighting), and its current parliamentary status. High scores signal political readiness for advancement.

Fiscal Impact Overview

The package fiscal estimates are withdrawn. A source check in October 2026 found no model, derivation or source behind their GDP, jobs, revenue and break-even figures, so they are not shown or totalled here until they are rebuilt from sourced inputs.
