About Fathom
Fathom keeps deepening consolidations and forecasting, but half its feed is scraped marketing pages.
Fathom is a financial analysis, management-reporting, and cash-flow forecasting tool (part of The Access Group) aimed at accountants and advisors, with consolidated reporting as its center of gravity. The genuine changelog entries show steady, focused work: division-level consolidated financials and a batch of forecasting usability gains. Much of the feed, however, is crawl noise, customer-story pages and scraped 'what's new' listing pages ingested as if they were releases.
