Ehsan's Growth Take

Forethought's approach is smart — train on your data, deploy on your existing tools. Unlike rip-and-replace solutions, it makes your current stack better. The 10K ticket minimum means it's only viable for companies already at scale, but for those companies, the 30-60% automation rate is real.
