Consumption pricing puts pressure on the forecast in places traditional SaaS models rarely exposed. Total usage may be easier to model from the CFO’s seat, but the field still has to answer harder questions: which customer, which channel, which rep, and when. In this replay segment, Devavrat Shah explains how AI can help teams learn across cohorts, spot patterns in uneven data, and create more trust in a forecast that would otherwise depend on isolated judgment calls. 

Devavrat Shah is an MIT professor, director of MIT’s Statistics and Data Science Center, and co-founder and CEO of Ikigai Labs. He brings a data science and operator’s perspective to forecasting, consumption pricing, and enterprise AI.
