Policy designer with an interest in operating verification infrastructure
Fathom is an AI-governance nonprofit identified here with fathom.org and self-disclosed FEIN 93-4840479. Its work spans a verified-redlines partnership with The Future Society, support for the Athens Roundtable series, verification proposals and sponsorship of California SB813.
The 2025 Judiciary account records Fathom’s aspiration to become an MRO and its belief that it was qualified. That is a historical prospective role, not a designation or awarded monopoly. Later Paris simulation and Ashby materials discuss verification, safeguards and commercial incentives; they do not establish an operating government system. The retained SB813 status is enrolled, with enactment unestablished. Event-series funding is acknowledged separately, without a verified amount or allocation to the September 2025 campaign.
