Why not Palantir?
Why not GIS?
Why GTF?

GTF is not a replacement for Palantir, GIS, or BI tools. It is a different category: a Deterministic Decision Intelligence Engine for physical-world risk — built from the ground up to be explainable, auditable, and deployable without an army of data scientists.

Core Design Principles

What GTF is built on

Deterministic, not probabilistic

Every risk score is produced by explicit formulas with named factors. No neural network. No statistical black box. Run the same inputs twice — get the same result.

temperature=38°C → +27 pts
wind=65km/h → +24 pts
NDVI=0.8 → +18 pts
= 90/CRITICAL
Always reproducible.

Auditable by regulators

EU AI Act (Article 13) requires explainability for high-risk AI systems. GTF produces a complete audit trail: input → factor → weight → output. Any regulator can verify any score.

NIS2: score 96/CRITICAL
Cause: phishing → encryption
→ 28 flights affected
→ NIS2 report: 24h deadline
All traceable, all auditable.

Multi-domain by architecture

One event engine, one risk engine, one dossier system — connected to 9 domains. A wildfire near an airport creates linked dossiers in the Fire, Airport, Infra, and Evac modules simultaneously.

FIRE-GR-001 → affects:
AIRPORT-LGAV (risk: 62)
INFRA-POWER-001 (risk: 85)
EVAC-ZONE-001 (risk: 72)
All linked, one engine.

Deployable without cloud/GPU

GTF runs entirely on a €20/month ARM server. No GPU. No cloud dependency. No Kubernetes cluster required. This means it can be deployed in air-gapped environments (government, defence, critical infra).

Server: Hetzner CAX21
RAM: 8GB ARM64
Cost: €20/month
6 services running
All 9 domains live.
vs Palantir

Palantir is a powerful platform.
GTF solves a different problem.

"Palantir requires a 6-month integration, a team of data scientists, and a $500K contract minimum. GTF can be deployed by one engineer in one day and configured by an airport operations manager."
— GTF design principle: operational intelligence for the operator, not the data scientist.

Where Palantir wins

✅ Enterprise-scale data integration (petabytes)
✅ US DoD / intelligence community clearance
✅ Long-term government contracts
✅ Foundry platform for data teams
✅ 20+ years of enterprise trust

Where GTF wins

✅ SME airports, ports, fire services (Palantir won't serve them)
✅ EU AI Act compliant by architecture (Palantir is not)
✅ Deployable in days, not months
✅ NIS2/CER built-in (Palantir has no EU compliance layer)
✅ €5K–50K vs $500K+ (10-100× cheaper)
"GTF is the Explainable Risk Intelligence Engine for critical infrastructure operators who need Palantir-level multi-domain awareness at SME-level cost and EU regulatory compliance."
