The gym for your wallet

No lectures. No videos. Just practice.

Financial literacy is a skill, not a syllabus. You don't learn to swim by reading about water — you learn by getting in and repeating. Theorise drops you into real money scenarios: BNPL traps, Ajo groups, CBN rate moves, salary counters, AI advice. Immediate feedback. Spaced repetition. Over time, your judgement compounds.

10 tracks

From cash flow to Macro & Markets.

Every track has its own accent colour. Your skill radar tracks all ten over time.

Grounded in learning science

Spaced repetition, retrieval practice, interleaving.

Theorise uses the SM-2 spacing algorithm, mixes question types within each workout, and scores you against 10 sub-skills over time. These are decades-old techniques from Ebbinghaus, Roediger, Karpicke, Ericsson, and Rohrer — not marketing spin.

Roediger & Karpicke (2006)

Test-Enhanced Learning

Active recall beats rereading for long-term retention.

Cepeda et al. (2006)

Distributed Practice Meta-analysis

Spaced practice outperforms massed practice across domains.

Rohrer & Taylor (2007)

Interleaved Problems

Mixed problem types improve learning more than blocked.
