Why this matters
MFT hours get messy when logs and supervision drift apart.
A quick projection can tell you whether your current pace is on track. It cannot tell you whether each week is clean enough for the board, whether your supervision ratio is intact, or whether a supervisor will be able to sign the record later.
ClearPath turns the projection into an ongoing record: weekly rule checks, supervisor review, and state-specific form export when you are ready to apply.
