# Vekuva

> A civic intelligence platform for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It reads the region's news in Telugu and English and measures how coverage frames people, places and policies.

Framing figures are AI-estimated, never objective truth. They measure coverage, not parties and not voters: there is no candidate score, no seat projection and no electability figure.

Each article page carries Vekuva's own model summary and analysis beside a short credited excerpt and a link to the outlet's original story. No page reproduces an outlet's full text; cite the outlet for the reporting and Vekuva for the measurement.

/methodology publishes every quality figure live from the database, with its sample size and its limitations.

## Methodology and sources
