How it works

AI helps after you think, never instead.

Five minutes a day. You reason it through first, then Averiste scores how you got there, not only whether you guessed right.

Start the first lesson
  1. Read one idea

    Each unit opens with one short idea, like why confident answers fool us or how to break a big number into parts.

  2. Answer on your own

    Spot the error, make the estimate or name the flaw yourself, in lessons that take about five minutes.

  3. See how you reasoned

    Estimates score by how close you got, confidence bets by how well calibrated you were. Not just right or wrong.

  4. Watch your rating climb

    Every skill has a chess-style rating. Beat a hard drill and it rises more than for an easy one.

A level you can trust

Your skill ratings roll up into a Thinking Score and a level, each with a plain description of what it means.

Meet Vero

Named after the Latin verus, “true”. Vero cheers when you catch the AI out and raises an eyebrow when you take its word for it.
