Seeing the Unseeable: Welcome to the House of Data
summary
Palantir claims to make disparate datasets usable by automating integration, preserving data provenance, and enforcing policy-level access controls so humans can augment intelligence not replace it. Founded 2004 with investors like Peter Thiel, the company delivers on-premise software, not hosted services, and pairs a platform team with a customer-success team that builds solutions. Real deployments include banks (JPMorgan), NGOs (Team Rubicon) and intelligence work (CIA/NSA), used for disaster logistics and secure information sharing and reported to reduce “technical excuses.”
