Re: hard figures retrospectively. I've been in this boat before. Here's what I did. I would tell the recruiter / hiring manager / etc that I made a little c conservative estimate from my notes. While it probably is less impressive than the actual number, I wanted to err on the side of correctness over unearned praise for when I couldn't get the exact number.

This also led to me updating my resume about 1x / quarter, which I am currently behind so time to take my own advice and do that this evening. But the goal here is to regularly update so you can find the hard numbers if you need to. Plus, the market being what it is, you'll never know when layoffs will come a-knocking.
