Stiqly, the daily retention coach
Every student can still remember it next month — not just tonight. One short mission, planned from the exam date, with a parent report that shows what is actually known.
- Makes daily revision a 15–25 minute habit, not an open-ended session
- Proven methods: retrieval, spacing, and unaided recall across days
- Peace of mind for parents: retained, fragile, due and neglected knowledge
Who it is for
Built for the two people who live with GCSE.
Parents
The person who pays
Buy, consent, and read a weekly report in plain English. You see memory, not minutes on a screen.
The problem
Revision products measure activity. Exams reward memory.
Cramming fades
A correct answer tonight is not proof it will still be there in March. Most tools celebrate completion, then move on.
Screen time is not learning
Parents see minutes, topics covered and streaks. They do not see what is still retrievable without hints, weeks later.
Open chat is the wrong shape
An unrestricted tutor can invent, hint too early, or wander off the specification. Stiqly is a bounded study system, not a friend in the chat window.
How it works
One short daily mission, planned from the exam date.
The parent buys and consents. The student completes Today’s Mission. Stiqly is not a content library, not an unrestricted chatbot, and not a replacement for teachers.

For parents
Evidence of what is still known.
The weekly report is written in plain English. It does not turn learning into a game, and it does not hide behind a single score.
Retained
Retrieved unaided across more than one day and more than one question form.
Fragile
Known with support, or not yet stable enough to trust.
Due
Ready to come back now, before it slips.
Neglected
Not retrieved for three weeks or more.
The science
Mastery through retrieval. Two models, not one score.
Mastery
An ability estimate updated from verified attempts. Hint-heavy success does not count as durable mastery. The language model never writes this number.
Retention
A memory half-life that decides when the objective returns. Seed intervals: 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 days. One slip does not reset everything. Missed days never become a visible backlog.
An objective is secure only after at least two successful unaided retrievals on separate calendar days, on at least two different question forms.
Where this is
A sharp UK wedge, then demand-led expansion.
Phase 1 now
A local, deterministic learning-engine alpha: AQA GCSE Mathematics and Combined Science, Foundation and Higher. No live AI, no payments, no open chat.
AI only when it is bounded
Later coaching stays inside permitted tools, UK region, with a kill switch. If delayed unaided recall cannot be measured, AI does not ship.
Safety is a product rule
Parent-owned accounts, UK GDPR and the ICO Children’s code, no behavioural ads, no streaks or leaderboards, and a hard daily time cap.
Investors
Talk while the wedge is still this clear.
