What is Foreman?
Foreman is an open-source strategic advisor that gives every entrepreneur access to structured strategic thinking, the kind that used to require a six-figure consulting engagement.
You describe your problem in plain language. Foreman diagnoses the root cause, selects the right framework, applies it to your context, produces a professional deliverable, and tracks whether you actually follow through.
