Skaylar is a simple, web-based tool for forensic data analysis using Benford's Law to analyze and visualize first-digit distributions in a dataset.
Paste the data, click Run Test, and instantly see if there are anomalies.
What is Benford's Law?
In real financial data, the digit "1" appears as the first digit ~30% of the time, "2" ~18%, etc.
If your data deviates too much, it can signal fraud, errors, or manipulation.
Skaylar checks this for you in seconds.
