The Enterprise AI Playbook: Lessons from 51 Successful Deployments

Fathom featured as a case study in Chapter 7: "AI is enabling work that was never on the roadmap." Stanford categorized Fathom in the rarest tier they document — AI enabling work that was previously impossible, above both efficiency and revenue ROI. Authored by Elisa Pereira, Alvin Wang Graylin, and Erik Brynjolfsson.

From the Stanford Study
“Medical aesthetics is entirely cash pay. There are no claims, no centralized registries, no structured datasets. Territory intelligence for this market was not expensive or slow. It was impossible. A healthcare AI company changed that by building a system that scrapes public sources, assembles provider profiles, and scores prospects by estimated procedure volume and growth potential. For the first time, sales reps have a qualified pipeline in a market that never had one.”
