We find ourselves regularly advocating for Palantir’s technology. In our view it is completely unrivalled to anything else available in the market today when it comes to uniting enterprise data and deploying AI at scale. The same questions arise in every engagement: "Who else is using it? What is really working? How far are people getting?" Those questions deserve data-driven answers. We see what works and where organisations get stuck. But we wanted to go beyond our own client base and examine the broader market systematically. We built a dataset of 217 publicly referenced customers spanning every major industry and company size, from sub-$1B enterprises to Fortune 100 firms. That is enough signal to identify real patterns: what correlates with progress, where the common failure modes are, and what distinguishes the elite deployers from the rest. If you are evaluating Palantir or trying to get more from an existing deployment, this is for you.
