The core idea

Independent courses, linked to a live terminal.

The courses stand on their own as a real curriculum. But every concept also carries a “See this in the terminal” deep link — so the moment you learn an idea, you can go move it on an actual company.

  1. 01 // Learn

    Learn the concept

    Each lesson explains one idea in plain English — no prerequisites, no jargon walls. Discount rates, growth, terminal value: one clear idea at a time.

  2. 02 // Apply

    Apply it live in the terminal

    Every concept carries a “See this in the terminal” deep link. Learn the discount rate, then jump to where you adjust it live on a real company.

  3. 03 // It sticks

    It sticks

    Moving real numbers on a real stock turns abstract theory into intuition you keep. Understanding replaces memorization.

Lesson · The Discount Rate

Why a dollar next year is worth less than a dollar today

The discount rate is how you translate future cash into today's money. A higher rate means you demand more compensation for risk and waiting — so the same future cash flows are worth less right now. Get this one number wrong and every downstream figure drifts with it.

See this in the terminal

Jump to a live company and drag the discount rate yourself — watch fair value move in real time.

Knowledge check

If you raise the discount rate, what happens to the estimated fair value?

  • It goes down
  • It goes up
  • It stays the same
