A national budget, fully audited, in six days.
We ran the DeepPolicy pipeline against the 2026 Hungarian national budget under an Austrian-school analytical frame. The output was published in full, in Hungarian, by our partner think-tank, the Free Society Institute.
Take the budget. Read it like Mises and Hayek would.
The 2026 Hungarian national budget was introduced in the autumn of the preceding year as a roughly 122-page consolidated document, with thousands of line-item allocations across ministries, programmes, and target populations.
We selected the Austrian-school framework deliberately as a stress test: it is opinionated, internally consistent, and aggressive about classifying state spending into productive, redistributive, and extractive categories. Any framework that survives that lens cleanly applied across 122 pages is one that can be trusted with softer ones.
The brief was simple: identify every line item that an Austrian economist would mark as corporate welfare, regulatory rent, or administrative bloat. Quantify it. Cite it. Publish it.
Ten stages. Six days. One whitepaper.
The budget was segmented by Roman-numeral chapter. Analyst agents ran in parallel against each chapter, producing per-line classifications and reasoning.
Numerical aggregates were computed deterministically. The editor agent compiled the unified Master Whitepaper, preserving every figure and chapter conclusion.
The sociologist agent identified 42 affected demographic and occupational segments, from SME entrepreneurs to agricultural workers to retired teachers.
Copywriter agents generated 42 targeted briefs in parallel, each framed for the language and concerns of one segment, each grounded in the source whitepaper.
Every output was translated to Hungarian by a translator agent, then proofread by a second model with native-speaker prompting.
Outputs were compiled to typeset PDFs and handed off to the Free Society Institute for publication on szabadtarsadalom.hu.
5.3 trillion HUF, line by line.
The whitepaper identified 5.3 trillion HUF of expenditure that an Austrian analytical frame classifies as immediately or progressively cuttable. These were not handwave estimates — each figure was tied to a specific budgetary line, classified into one of four reform tiers (immediate cut, phase-out, nominal freeze, retain), and aggregated upward into the whitepaper’s headline figures.
Programmes with no defensible economic rationale: corporate subsidies, captured-press funding, parastatal padding.
Programmes that should taper over the parliamentary cycle: industrial subsidies, redundant administrative bodies.
Areas where headline spending should hold while inflation does the real-terms work.
Genuinely productive state functions: core infrastructure, rule-of-law institutions, basic public goods.
A whitepaper is for analysts. Briefs are for everyone else.
From a single Master Whitepaper, the pipeline generated 42 standalone briefings — each one written for a specific affected demographic, in the language and frame that demographic actually thinks in.
Specifically: which subsidy lines are removed, which compliance costs are projected to fall, which procurement channels open up.
Specifically: how CAP-adjacent transfers shift, which rural-development lines are protected vs. cut, what the net household effect looks like.
Specifically: what happens to indexation, supplementary benefits, and the public-sector pension envelope under the proposed reallocation.
Specifically: which sectoral wage envelopes are preserved, which hospital-network funding lines are restructured, what changes for primary vs. secondary care.
Specifically: scholarship envelopes, accommodation subsidies, KKM-route financing, and the reformed allocation between research and teaching.
Specifically: which centrally-administered transfers are devolved, which mandates lose ring-fenced funding, what the net municipal balance looks like.
The full pack covered 42 segments. The above is a representative slice.
Free Society Institute
The Free Society Institute (Szabad Társadalom Kutatóintézet) is a Hungarian-language policy publisher operating at szabadtarsadalom.hu. The Institute hosts the published whitepaper, the demographic brief series, and the underlying chapter analyses in their entirety.
The relationship is editorial-only. DeepPolicy supplies the analytical infrastructure; the Institute is responsible for editorial judgement, political framing, and publication.
“The whitepaper landed inside the budget’s news cycle, not three months after it. That is the difference between contributing to a debate and watching one.”
