Closure mechanism
The Caedmon Group wealth management period (2000-2003) immediately precedes Palantir's founding (2003). European HNWI clients represent a plausible but undocumented source of early Palantir funding. Karp's academic network in Frankfurt and his wealth management clients form a pre-Palantir European financial and social infrastructure that has never been fully mapped.
Trigger event
policy · proximity: influence · policy influence: none
Palantir holds $10B+ in cumulative government contracts across DOD, DHS, ICE, and intelligence agencies. Karp as CEO directly oversees this revenue stream.
Profit mechanisms — money flows benefiting
None documented.

market distortion

regulatory rollback
qualitative
German residency (1995-2001) → UK business (Caedmon) → Delaware LLC → US corporation (Palantir). Multi-jurisdictional structure obscures full liability and tax picture.
taxpayer dollars
qualitative
Palantir holds $10B+ in cumulative government contracts across DOD, DHS, ICE, and intelligence agencies. Karp as CEO directly oversees this revenue stream.
How this score was computed
- Financial position: undocumented → score 0.00
- Proximity to trigger: influence → score 0.50
- Policy influence: none → score 0.05
- Public cost: qualitative only → score 0.00 (floor used as divisor)
- Raw = (0.00 × 0.50 × 0.05) ÷ 0.05 = 0.00
- Final = 0.00 × 1.00 (clamped) = 0.00
Score = (financial position × proximity × policy influence) ÷ public cost, then multiplied by a vanish penalty (chains that go dark before reaching the orchestrator weaken the evidence). Every input is documented above; nothing is hidden inside the number.
