About This Tool

Incident pattern analysis: common questions

In short: paste an incident log with a date, time and location on each line, and the analyser shows when incidents cluster, where the hotspots are, how patterns change by day and season, and which security measures fit each pattern. Free to use with no registration. All analysis runs in your browser and your data is not sent anywhere.

What format does my incident log need to be in?

One incident per line with a date or day, a time and a location, plus a short description if you have one. Most formats work, and you can paste straight from Excel or a spreadsheet.

How much data do I need for useful results?

The more the better. Twenty or more incidents over several months usually shows clear time and location patterns; a full year shows seasonal trends such as holidays and dark evenings.

How does incident analysis help decide what security to buy?

It points spending at real problems. If most incidents happen in one car park after 8pm, lighting and a camera with analytics there will do more than cameras across the whole site. Evidence from your own log also makes budget requests easier to approve.

Is my incident data stored or sent anywhere?

No. The analysis runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Download the report as a PDF if you want to keep it.
