Polar in Fathom: the recap written from the numbers, not from memory.
Fathom captures what was said. What it cannot do is check whether it was true, because the numbers people argue about in the meeting live in your dashboards. Connect Polar and an agent brings the governed figures into the recap, so the follow-up is sourced instead of remembered.

How to Connect Fathom to Polar.
A Polar account with your stack connected, a Fathom workspace, and an agent with the Polar MCP and your notes.
01 · What you need
A Polar account with your stack
A Polar account with Shopify and your sources connected, so the numbers in the recap match your dashboards.
Connect your data →Your Fathom workspace
A Fathom account recording the meetings you want the numbers attached to.
Open Fathom →An agent with the Polar MCP
An assistant (like Claude) with the Polar MCP, so the recap is written against governed data rather than against a memory of it.
02 · Connect Polar to your meeting notes
1
Give your agent the Polar MCP ~2 min
Governed metrics, first-party.
Connect the Polar MCP to your assistant. It reads your governed semantic layer,
net sales, blended CAC, contribution margin, so any figure it puts in a recap is fetched rather than recalled.2
Attach the numbers to the notes ~2 min
Recap, meet reality.
1
Point the agent at the Fathom transcript or summary for the meeting.
2
It pulls the metrics that were discussed from Polar and writes them into the recap, with the period each one covers.
check every number in this recap against Polar and correct it
3
Actions that carry evidence the payoff
Follow-up, sourced.
Each action item leaves with the metric that justified it, so the next meeting starts from a figure rather than from a disagreement about whose number was right.
Side by side
Fathom captures the conversation. Polar brings the numbers to it.
Notes and action items live in Fathom, and the numbers people argue about in the meeting live somewhere else. Polar supplies the governed figures, so the recap is written from the source instead of from memory.

Action items are written from memory, not from the data.
Recaps sourced from Polar's governed numbers.
Every metric mentioned has to be looked up afterwards.
Ask Polar in plain language, during or after the call.
Notes are a record of a discussion, not a decision.
Decisions carried into a dashboard the team already reads.
The follow-up depends on whoever took the notes.
The same numbers and the same definitions, every meeting.
The Gap
The connector is only half of it.
Your agent reads Polar's governed metrics over MCP and writes them into the Fathom recap: the figures that were discussed, the period each covers, and the actions they justify. Fetched, not remembered.
