How it works
- Read the term, recall the meaning, then reveal. Grade yourself honestly: Got it moves the card up a box, Again sends it back to the start.
- Every card has a next date. Get one right and it comes back in 1 day, then 3, then 7, then 21, then 60. Get it wrong and it returns to the front. A session shows what is actually due and nothing else.
- That schedule is the whole method. The deck used to have three boxes and no clock, so a card marked Known was known for ever — which is precisely the belief spaced repetition exists to interrupt. Seeing a term again just as you are about to forget it is what moves it into memory; seeing it again the same afternoon does almost nothing.
- Everything stays on this device: progress lives in your browser's local storage. Reset wipes it.
- Want the full context for a term? The glossary links every entry into the atlas.

All definitions are the glossary's own — simplified on purpose, for education only. Being able to define a term is the start of understanding it, not the end; the product and concept pages carry the rest.
A suggested routine
- Ten minutes on most days beats an hour once a week. The schedule already assumes you come back; skipping a week simply means more cards are due when you do.
- Pair the deck with a learning path: read a product page, then let its vocabulary resurface here a day later.
- When most of the deck is resting rather than due, sit the Market Exam — recall under mild pressure is the real test. Your learning record shows what is still shaky.
Information and education only. This page explains a mechanism in general terms, using simplified textbook models and illustrative figures. It is not advice, not a recommendation, and not a valuation you can rely on. Conventions and rules differ by market and jurisdiction and change over time.
