Watch the information space around every election.
Vigia gives any election-observation or democracy-monitoring effort a disciplined, GDPR-compliant vantage point over the online campaign — from collection, to analyst-reviewed findings, to a finished report.

Every election now unfolds as much online as on the ground. Campaign messaging, coordinated amplification, disinformation and hate move faster than any team can follow by hand. Vigia gives observers a single, structured vantage point over the accounts that matter — so analysts spend their time judging, not collecting.

From setting up a mission to an automated report — the whole workflow, in a couple of minutes.
What it does
From raw feeds to defensible findings.
Vigia owns everything between the platforms and the report — normalisation, storage, compliance, review and analysis.
Multi-platform collection
Facebook, X, TikTok and Instagram — as many accounts as a mission needs, with no fixed cap, normalised into one canonical schema so the analysis never depends on a platform's quirks.
AI-assisted, human-decided
Every post is triaged for disinformation, hate speech, vote-buying and incitement. Analysts confirm or dismiss each finding — nothing enters a report without a human decision.
Evidentiary integrity
Archived media is hashed and provenance is preserved on every post, so a finding can be traced back to exactly what was captured, and when.
GDPR-first by design
Every mission carries a documented purpose, lawful basis and retention window that Vigia actively enforces. Bystander data is stripped on ingest; personal data is automatically purged once the window closes — after the report is delivered. Privacy is a default, not a setting.
Reports that read like reports
A full election-observation monitoring chapter — environment, legal framework and a grounded findings narrative, plus charts for volume, topics, tone, top hashtags and follower growth — drafted from your own data and exported to Word in a click.
Compare & contextualise
Side-by-side contestant metrics, an editable topic taxonomy, and peak-activity analysis — the context that turns a pile of posts into an argument.
Paid advertising, not just organic
Vigia also monitors paid political advertising — who is spending to amplify their message, how much, and for how long — and flags ads that ran without a proper "paid for by" disclosure. The paid campaign, right beside the organic one.
Coordination & manipulation signals
Beyond individual posts, Vigia surfaces the patterns: copy-paste networks posting in concert, artificial amplification, sudden follower loss or a page vanishing, undisclosed influencer promotion, and links or hashtags pushed by a cluster of accounts — each a lead for an analyst to pull, never an automated verdict.
A second stream — keyword monitoring
Watch the conversation, not only the accounts. Standing boolean searches surface election-relevant posts from anyone — emerging narratives, hashtags and attacks that never touch a watched page — with the same AI relevance gate and human review.
Language, tone & translation
On-demand translation of any post into the mission's working language — sound even on creoles and low-resource languages — plus a tone read of the discourse (positive, negative, neutral) and the prevalence of attacks and inflammatory language over the campaign.
The network graph
See who moves together.
When many accounts push the same links, hashtags and mentions, they light up as a cluster. Vigia maps that structure — so coordination you'd never catch post-by-post becomes a picture you can point at.
Accounts are nodes; a line joins any two that share a link, hashtag or @mention.
A tight cluster is the tell — a group moving in lockstep, not ordinary overlap.
Legitimate campaign tags are muted out, so only the unexpected coordination remains.
Trace any account to see exactly which selectors tie it to the rest.

Paid advertising
See the paid campaign, not just the posts.
Most tools watch what candidates post. Vigia also watches what they pay to amplify — pulling political ads from the platforms' own ad libraries and placing them beside the organic feed.
Paid beside organic — each actor's ads next to their posts, with spend and reach as the platforms report them.
Undeclared-ad detection — ads that ran without a valid “paid for by” disclosure are flagged for analyst review.
Foreign-money signal — spend in a non-local currency reveals outside advertisers paying to reach your electorate.
Tamper-evident archive — every ad creative is downloaded and fingerprinted, so the proof survives even if the ad is deleted.
Manipulation signals
Catch the patterns, not just the posts.
Manipulation rarely lives in one post — it lives in the pattern across many. Vigia reads the whole corpus for coordination, amplification and silencing, and hands the analyst a lead to pull — never an automated accusation.
Coordinated inauthentic behaviour — identical content posted across distinct accounts, the fingerprint of a copy-paste network.
Artificial amplification — shares far outstripping likes, reach beyond an account's following, or a sudden engagement cliff rather than steady growth.
Silencing & suppression — sudden follower loss, or a watched page removed, suspended or renamed in mid-campaign.
Shared-selector networks — links, hashtags and @mentions pushed by a cluster of accounts, mapped as a coordination graph.
Undisclosed influence & synthetic media — paid-partnership markers on third-party accounts, AI-generated-image flags, and gendered-attack detection.
A signal, never a verdict — every pattern is surfaced for a human to verify; naming who is behind it needs forensics beyond field observation.

Why Vigia
Built to last, not just to launch.
The hard part isn't pulling posts — it's turning them into findings a mission can stand behind.
A platform, not a script
Vigia owns the whole chain — its own collection and normalisation layer, one canonical data model, storage, compliance and review. Not a dashboard bolted onto someone else's feed.
AI that's calibrated, not just connected
Our triage is calibrated and validated against real election data — and every finding is confirmed by a human analyst. Nothing reaches a report on the machine's word alone.
Compliance is the product
GDPR purpose, lawful basis and retention on every mission; hashed media and preserved provenance so findings withstand scrutiny. The bar serious observation demands.
Built by observers
Designed by people with two decades inside election observation — so the workflow matches how missions actually run, from setup to a defensible report.
Who it's for
Built for everyone who watches elections.
From formal observation missions to regulators, researchers and rights monitors — anyone who needs a disciplined view of the online campaign.
