Palantir is best viewed as a React dev shop.

They have a bunch of dumb react components that can become the gui for live targeting systems, but that all happens post contract and in the liability of their customers, the organizations willing to expend human capital coming and going, e.g. militaries

No it isn't. Palantir is Databricks + a bunch of no-code / low-code tools for data visualization and general app development.

Palantir is forward deployed engineers doing whatever their customers need.

Everything else is just marketing and right sizing. For most things yeah, data bricks and no code sounds right. Most of their work is over the counter benign, but that’s to lend credibility to their other initiatives while funding their quite literal war coffers.
