Palantir for Beginners

A visual, beginner-first guide to the ideas behind Palantir: connecting data, modeling the real world with Ontology, turning information into workflows in Foundry, using AIP with context and governance, and understanding how Gotham and Apollo fit into the larger platform.

The guide follows a non-human aura of computational energy searching for a place to node, process, and compute across CPU/GPU infrastructure—turning abstract platform concepts into a simple visual journey.
