Pros & cons
Palantir AIP
Pros
- The Ontology gives agents a governed model of the actual business
- Built for operational decisions, not document chat
- Governance, audit, and access control are native, not add-ons

- Bootcamp model produces working results in days rather than a long pilot
Cons
- The deepest platform commitment on this list — switching cost is near total
- No published pricing and a heavyweight commercial relationship
- Value depends on data integration work you have to do regardless
- Far too much platform for anything below large-enterprise scale
- Requires internal capability to build and maintain ontology and workflows

- Built-in brand and compliance guardrails
- Clear enterprise data-handling story
