Siftica

Siftica answers questions about Swedish and European statistics. It uses data from official statistics sources.

Siftica focuses on official Swedish statistics - Available searchable sources are for an example: SCB, Eurostat, BRÅ, Riksbanken, etc.

See here for all available sources: https://siftica.com/kallor

You ask a question in Swedish or English. Siftica finds the matching statistics tables, fetches the figures, calculates where needed and writes an answer. Each figure carries a mark such as [S1]. The mark points to a listed source: the table, the period and the date the source was updated. A figure that Siftica calculated carries a mark such as [C1] and names the figures it comes from.

Siftica checks the numbers in an answer against the source data that it fetched. It lists the numbers that it could not check. When the data does not answer the question, Siftica says so and suggests a next step. It does not guess. A value that a source marks as suppressed or missing stays suppressed or missing. Siftica never shows it as zero.
