They have a whole website to answer all these questions, and there's a fair bit on youtube etc? Honestly, I'm not sure why "what if we had a consistently available tech stack and data model" is that far fetched an idea though.

And Palantir is the only company that provides this? They didn't have this before? After they bought it what changed? Again, what new capabilities do they have now that they lacked before? What required them to make a deal with a defense contractor for a "consistent data model?" Did other ERP vendors not exist?

It's 2026. Make this make sense. Justify their decision don't excuse it with hand waving.

> is that far fetched an idea though.

You are working really hard to ignore reality here. Basic accountability in spending tax payer funds is not a "far fetched idea."

The deeper you dig into that site the more you discover the supposed benefits still had to be developed locally and merely rely on Foundry as a database. You're telling me the NHS had to make this highly questionable decision because they couldn't find a database vendor?

This stinks. I'm sorry you can't or aren't willing to admit you smell it.
