Bespoke consultancy

Fathom provides answers to complex questions through bespoke consultancy work. While the scope may vary greatly between projects and clients, Fathom’s ability to explore previously uncharted territory and to map out solutions to seemingly intractable problems remains a constant, whether in asset allocation, policymaking or corporate strategy. The case studies below illustrate the range of our expertise.

Our approach

Fathom applies the same rigorous, proven process to every piece of work; this process is the DNA that makes up our world-leading research.

We start by truly understanding the client’s question. We carefully examine the existing literature and available data, and these inform our analysis, both qualitative and quantitative, which uses the most sophisticated statistical techniques. Where new datasets or models are needed, we create them. We design and develop intelligent solutions for our clients and summarise our findings in plain, jargon-free English. We deliver our results in the format that works best for them, whether that be written reports, personal presentations, and/or interactive dashboards and tools.
