Yep, Palantir of NOTHANKS.

#53The fact Alex Karp has any security clearance at all boggles the mind.
Isnt this required anyway for everybody doing military & gov contracts?

#57Earlier quoted context omitted.
Seems unlikely. I've seen teams at GDS + teams based on the GDS way of working in other UK gov departments solve some really knarly problems.
Counter to that I’ve seen a £37m contract for a form on gov uk with absolutely no change in process, just going from a letter received to a online form
GDS went from an internal distruptor, breaking the consultancy oligopoly to being another entry gate.
The companies who capitalised on this (Kainos/Equal Experts/ScrumConnect) are now their own oligopoly.
It's just big guys charging arms/legs for average work again.
