Can you trust the numbers in Fathom?
Fathom is an AI notetaker that records and summarizes meetings so people can focus on the conversation instead of taking notes. Its own help pages give 4 reasons its numbers can look different from what you expect. The first to rule out: When meetings overlap, only one of them is recorded, so, as Fathom's help pages say, its meeting count can come out lower than the calendar's.
Is it broken, or just counted differently?
A number can look wrong because the business changed, or because of how Fathom counts it. Below is what Fathom keeps, where its help pages say the numbers can differ, and how to check them yourself.

Questions owners ask about Fathom
- Why are my Fathom calls counted under a different company?When someone outside your company organized the meeting, Fathom files the call under the organizer's company first, so a meeting arranged by a partner can land under the partner.
- Why did fewer of my calls get recorded in Fathom?Fathom records a call only when you are on it yourself, so meetings you skip are not recorded.
- Why do my teammates see fewer calls in Fathom's Team Calls?When a user's setting to share all external recordings is off, their recordings are shared one at a time instead, so some can stay out of the team library.

Know the day a number breaks, not the month after.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
