Built for every country, in every language.

The problem

Billion-dollar decisions are made every year — fuel prices, taxes, allowances, bans — with almost no way to see their consequences in advance. The analysis that exists is slow, expensive, written for specialists and rarely in the language people speak. Citizens hear about a policy after it lands, not before.

What we’re building

Kanven is a policy analyst anyone can use. Describe a change in plain words; Kanven works through a policymaker’s checklist for that kind of policy, reads the country’s own news in its own languages, policy papers and international research, and computes how the change spreads through prices, households, public finances, the environment and politics — with every claim cited and every number traceable.

The household simulator goes one step further: write a programme as explicit rules, run it across 20,000 simulated households, and find the loopholes before they find you.

What we believe

• Evidence over opinion. If we can’t show where a claim comes from, we don’t make it.
• Honest uncertainty. Ranges, confidence levels and admitted gaps — never false precision.
• Analysis, not advice. We show consequences and trade-offs. Decisions belong to people.
• Every country, equally. Each country’s own institutions, data, news and languages, and comparisons across 217 economies.
