Policy intelligence · every country, every language
See what a policy sets off — before it becomes law.
Ask about any policy, in any country. Kanven reads the news, laws and budgets that matter, maps how the change ripples through prices, jobs and public money, and shows its work — every number computed, every claim cited.

03 · Model
It maps how the change spreads.
A causal model of prices, jobs, households and public money. The engine computes every number with a likely range; the AI never writes a figure.
04 · Check
It shows its work.
Every quote is checked word for word against its source. Every number links to the sentence it came from. Confidence is measured, not claimed.

Every number is traced
No number appears without the sentence it came from.
Kanven reads laws, budgets and reports straight from governments’ own websites, PDFs included. Figures are extracted from their sentences, checked against other sources, and cited to the page. Here is a real one.

The evidence library
It has already read more than most analysts will in a career.
And it keeps reading: every question sends it to the country’s own news, government sites and research, and what it finds stays in the library for the next question.

Who it’s for
Anyone who has to understand a policy before it lands.
Citizens
Know what a budget, a price change or a new tax means for your family — in plain words, before it lands.
“What does a 20% fuel price rise mean for my household?” →
Journalists
Go past the press release: who wins, who loses, what happened elsewhere — with sources you can cite.
“Who loses if the UK raises VAT to 22%?” →
Researchers
Start from a cited map of effects and evidence, with the math open, instead of a blank page.
“What evidence is there on fertiliser subsidies in Africa and Asia?” →
NGOs & donors
Stress-test a programme on simulated households: who it misses, where it leaks, what it costs.
“Double the old-age pension in Kenya” →
Local governments
Weigh a city decision — a fee, a ban, a scheme — against what it will actually set off.
“Ban single-use plastic bags in Lagos” →
Policymakers
A decision brief in a minute: the questions to answer, the stakeholders, the risks, the precedents.
“Make public buses free in Bogotá” →
Same question, three ways
Fast is easy. Fast and right is the product.
A chatbot answers in seconds but can’t show where its numbers come from. A study shows its sources but takes weeks. Kanven does both.
Kanven’s time is the median of its recent analyses; sources are the average read per report (40 reports). The other two lanes are illustrative, not benchmarks of specific products.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
How do I get access?+
Create an account. During early access each account can run 3 full reports and ask 10 follow-up questions inside each one. Paid plans with more open after early access.
Where does the evidence come from?+
Each country’s own news (in English and its own languages), laws, budgets and reports read from government websites, World Bank and IMF data and papers, open research (OpenAlex, Crossref), and the original sources Wikipedia cites — never Wikipedia itself. 41,239 documents from 186 countries so far.
Can I trust the numbers?+
Numbers are computed by Kanven’s engine, never written by the AI. Each one comes with a likely range, and figures from sources are traced to their sentence and checked against other sources. Quotes are verified word for word before you see them.
Does it work for my country?+
Yes — any country. Ask about one by name, or set your country in the header and questions that don’t name one are about yours. The household simulator builds each country’s households from its own published data.
Does Kanven tell governments what to do?+
No. It shows consequences, trade-offs and evidence. Decisions stay with people.
What happens to my questions?+
They are processed by our AI provider to produce your report and saved so you can come back to it. We don’t sell your data or use it to train models.
Ask the question before it becomes law.
