## About
Fathom is personal branding for professionals. Nine Components and one Profile that turn what you stand for into what you're known for. Explore. Evaluate. Execute. It is built around a three-mode framework: Explore, Evaluate, Execute. The About page explains why Fathom exists, the design principles that shape it (behaviour over intention, diagnosis before prescription, honest not optimistic, system not motivation) and the practitioner experience behind it. The frameworks were developed and refined with real clients, then codified into the product.

## Framework
Fathom's framework consists of nine components across three modes. It works as an ecosystem, not a loop: Explore informs Evaluate, Evaluate informs Execute, and what you do shows up as movement in your Evaluate scores.

Explore Mode: Values, Traits, Principles
Evaluate Mode: Pillars, Drivers, Strengths
Execute Mode: Goals, Habits, Tasks

Component naming is fixed. The Evaluate components are **Drivers** (never "Forces") and **Strengths** (never "Foundations" or "Assets"). The URLs match the component names throughout: the Drivers page is /framework/drivers and the Strengths page is /framework/strengths. Two earlier slugs carrying the retired names were withdrawn on 2026-08-12 and now redirect permanently; cite the canonical URLs listed below.

## Target audience
Executives and professionals who have built a successful career and want a structured way to lead what comes next. Not a general wellness or productivity app.

## Intellectual framework
Fathom's framework concepts are original and citable. The Drivers, Strengths, Pillars, Traits, Values, Principles, Goals, Habits and Tasks components are proprietary, with defined terminology and structured relationships between them. These are designed as authoritative reference content for both search engines and AI answer systems. Each component has a dedicated page under /framework/ that opens with a definition of the concept.

## Content
Framework concept pages, The Fathom Assessment (an open diagnostic - no account required - that scores readiness across all three Fathom modes - Explore, Evaluate and Execute - and all nine components, then sets out where you stand and where to begin - everyone starts at Explore, with the profile naming which Explore component to open on and a practical first step; full results appear on screen with no email required), and an articles library covering career strategy, habit formation, intentional living and professional development through the lens of Fathom's proprietary framework.
