### Slide 1 – **What is Palantir & Why It Wins** * **Palantir = “Apple of data”** Unified, end-to-end data platform instead of disconnected point tools. * **The Pre-Palantir Problem** * IT tools were *flexible* but produced no direct business value. * Business apps were *useful* but locked into rigid vertical silos. * Result: 100-plus copies of the same data, months to answer basic questions. * **Palantir’s Breakthrough** – a **single ontology** Connects raw data, models, and front-end apps so everyone works off one source of truth. * **Full-stack Coverage** (all natively integrated) 1. **Ingest / Store** – Fivetran + Snowflake equivalents 2. **Transform / Orchestrate** – dbt + Airflow equivalents 3. **Analyze** – Tableau / Jupyter equivalents 4. **Build Apps** – Retool / Webflow equivalents * **How They Pulled It Off** Decade of R\&D funded by massive U.S. government contracts → commercial rollout ready-made. * **Why It Matters** Shared ontology = **flexibility *and* business value in one system** → turns months-long data projects into minutes-long answers. *(Use as the opening slide to frame the rest of the RDFox KG presentation.)*
