Built on Foundry

The platform behind what we build.

We build on Palantir Foundry and AIP — the same enterprise platform trusted across some of the world's most demanding operations. You don't need to know it to work with us. But if you're curious what's under the hood, here's the short version.

01 What is Palantir Foundry

One place where your data, decisions, and operations come together.

Most organisations run on data scattered across dozens of disconnected systems — spreadsheets, databases, and tools that don't talk to each other. Palantir Foundry is an enterprise platform that brings all of it into one secure, governed environment: data integrated and kept in sync, modelled into the real things your business cares about, with applications and decisions built directly on top.

01

Unified data

Connects and continuously syncs data from across your systems into one governed source of truth — no more reconciling conflicting spreadsheets.

02

The ontology

Your data modelled as the real objects, relationships, and actions your operation runs on — the same kind of model we build with you during discovery.

03

Operational applications

Purpose-built apps that sit directly on that data, so decisions and actions happen where the work actually is.

04

Enterprise security

Granular access control, encryption, and full audit lineage — built for regulated, high-stakes environments from the ground up.

02 What is AIP

AI connected to your real operations — not a chatbot bolted on.

AIP — Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform — is the AI layer that sits on top of Foundry. Instead of generic AI that knows nothing about your business, AIP connects large language models and AI agents directly to your live operational data, and lets them take governed, audited actions with people in control.

The intelligence is grounded in what's actually true in your organisation, and constrained by the same permissions and oversight as everything else — which is what makes it safe to use where the stakes are real.

03 Why we build here

Production-ready from day one — and never a requirement.

Building on Foundry means enterprise-grade security, scale, and data infrastructure without the months of procurement and setup. Combined with our years of Foundry experience, that's how we get from first conversation to a working production system in weeks rather than months — and the ontology we build becomes a durable foundation you own.

But Foundry is our deepest expertise, not a prerequisite. If you already run it, we deploy in your environment. If you don't, we host and deliver on our own — you never need to touch it. And when Foundry isn't the right tool for the problem, we build on the right stack instead. The outcome doesn't change.

04 Hence × Palantir

A founding Foundry for Builders company.

Hence joined Palantir's first Foundry for Builders cohort — among the earliest companies to build on Foundry from day zero — and we've deepened that expertise ever since. Our founder is a Palantir alumnus, and Hence is featured in Palantir's global builder community.
