#6I just don't get it. NHS needs a big data platform so they go to a... spy tech company? Why are they so insistent that it must be Palantir that builds this, instead of choosing from a dozen of other consulting companies that don't have a dodgy track record?
Ideally the NHS would just build it in house, but sadly it's a slow and bloated organisation unable to innovate (as most government managed things usually become).

#7Pre IPO ex Palantir here.
Palantir will do a number of things to gain influence. They'll find out who are the decision makers on the space they want a contract, and they'll target them specifically. For example: if they know you take the train to work every morning, and read the news paper, they'll take a full page advertisement on the paper they know you like and that you'll see. They gain this information by, you guessed it, spying on their targets.

As someone familiar with the USG data management tech landscape — it’s probably because it’s by far the best product with no remotely close second.

#9Alas, the goodlaw project have a very bad track record for actually getting positive results.

What would be the second in your opinion, even if it's not close?
