Bespoke consultancy
Fathom provides answers to complex questions through bespoke consultancy work. While the scope may vary greatly between projects and clients, our experts often explore previously uncharted territory, whether it be in asset allocation, policymaking or corporate strategy.
Much of our bespoke consultancy has focused on China. This has meant building a suite of proprietary tools, which allow us: to assess economic linkages between countries and each of the three main hubs of economic activity, including China; to produce forecasts and scenarios for the Chinese economy; to track China’s global footprint in terms of foreign direct investment; and to measure China’s progress towards dominance in high-tech sectors in global export markets.
In 2025 we produced a ground-breaking report on decarbonising European aviation. Past work has included calculating the global investment needed to reach net zero and the economic impact of European climate policy. We have also been commissioned to produce reports on the impact of R&D in the aerospace sector.
We provide ongoing macroeconomic modelling and scenario analysis. Other projects have included: building a model of the US economy; creating a model to predict changes in US interest rates; and providing asset allocation advice for local authority pension schemes.
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.
Fathom reports
Fathom’s DNA is woven through everything we do. Our aim is to address our clients’ problems, even when that means operating at the frontier of economic research; to do that rigorously and objectively; and to convey our findings in plain English. A few examples of the written reports that summarise individual projects are shown below.
