> How are Palantir so effective?

What are you using to conclude their effectiveness?

It appears Palantir “brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a ‘confidence score’ on the person’s current address” [1]. That’s like VLOOKUP.

On effectiveness, Trump is deporting fewer people than Obama did with a tenth of the budget.
