🎯 Desk drills · from the Labs
Short, scored reps.
These nine live in the Labs alongside 17 more tools. Each one is a rep on a mechanic interviews actually test, graded, with the working shown afterwards.
Paper LBO Trainer
A fresh deal every time. Solve MOIC and IRR in your head, check the worked math, and see a returns waterfall break it down.

IRR by Eye
Ten rounds of MOIC to IRR in your head, and every third round the other way. Holds of 3 to 7 years, an optional clock, and the ladder of rungs worth memorising.

Games keep it sharp. Coaching makes it land.
Streaks are fun and genuinely useful for recall. When the interview is real, a discovery session finds what to fix first and the bootcamps fix it.
