Evidence Scorecard
A single score cannot prove an echo. This card triangulates semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.
Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.790); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.
Could also be…
- •Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
- •Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.
- •A common external shock (e.g., financial crisis, pandemic) could explain parallel adoption.
