Actually, I appreciate the reply as a prompt to clarify what I mean. I really hope I am able to decouple Palantir from the metadata analytics that I'm talking about in my endorsement of the technology. Speaking in sweeping generalities, the only thing special about Palantir is the fact that it's entrenched, which is what gives it the opportunities other companies don't have. Ignoring for a minute its highly-specialized workforce (needing a TS clearance just to get into the parking lot) and focusing on the process and technology. I would even go so far as to say that I think most other companies in this space would do a better job than Palantir, just because entrenched companies get comfortable and lose their edge.
