The backstory
ThoughtSpot pioneered search-driven analytics, and for years "type a question, get a chart" was a differentiator worth enterprise money. Every BI vendor now ships that, powered by better models, and chat products do it against uploaded files free. ThoughtSpot has genuine depth in governance and scale, which keeps it wounded rather than dead.
