So the way you would do it is you would send down the data call to all of the units. They'd go check out the motor pool. They'd come back with the answer. And so there's no living, breathing, canonical record that continues to flow through this. We've built these systems. The army is older than the country. We've built these systems.

It's like archeology when you go back there and try to look at this. It's not how you would do it today, but that's our extant reality. We have to deal with this messiness. Sometimes the cynical way to think about Palantir is it took something as sexy as James Bond to motivate engineers to work on a problem as boring as data integration. But that is the starting point.

If you can't see yourself, if you can't integrate all your data, you're just always chasing your tail. Then on top of that, we make powerful interfaces for decision-making. One of the contrarian quips I have is that Data is not the new oil. People have been running around saying, data is the new oil, data is the new oil. I think data is the new snake oil.

There's nothing inherently valuable about data. It's only valuable if you can use it to make a decision. So it's about decision advantage. So how do I leverage this data I've now integrated so that you can make a better decision, you can see further in the future, that you can out-compete your competitor in the commercial world or your adversary in the defense world?

The decision is leading up to the point where you realize that's what they're trying to do. How do I integrate the human reporting that I have that tells me what might be going on? Now, keep in mind that... One part of the reporting is in this country. One part of the reporting is in that country. Who's willing to share what?

Who even knows that sharing it is going to lead to a mission critical outcome that saves lives? So how do you start to automate more of that? How do you help them piece those things together? How do you combine the technical collection you have with this too?

Maybe you have SIGINT that helps you understand this, helps you understand that this reporting is correlated to other cells that you actually care about, where you have intercepts that tell you something.

How do I use my historic FMV footage, observations of that compound that helped me piece together more things that lead to the conclusion, we've got a problem here and we've got a tight timeline to act on.
