Foundry Customer Advisory
We help teams move from delivery into steady, sustainable operation with practical guidance that keeps cost in check, avoids unnecessary work, and makes the platform easier to manage over time.
So you’ve got Palantir Foundry, now what?
Most Foundry challenges don’t show up during build.
They show up later, when leaders start asking:
-
Are we actually using Foundry the way it was designed to be used?
-
Why are costs climbing faster than adoption?
-
Who owns what decisions — and who breaks ties when tradeoffs appear?
-
How do we scale delivery without creating rework, sprawl, or long-term debt?
At this stage, teams don’t need more engineers.
They need clarity, structure, and experienced judgment.
There is very little neutral, platform-level guidance available once Foundry is live. Most support is tied to delivery incentives.
ForgeSight fills that gap.
We provide ongoing, light-touch advisory focused on how the platform is run — not what gets built next. We work with leadership and platform owners to bring discipline, consistency, and long-term thinking to Foundry operations, without slowing teams down or adding headcount.
Our Approach
We focus on governance, operating models, and decision-making that hold up as the platform scales. Our approach is:
-
Hands-on experience: Real-world Foundry operating expertise
-
Independent guidance: Free from delivery incentives
-
Pattern-based: Recommendations informed by multiple deployments
-
Long-term focus: Platform health over short-term output
Typical engagement structure:
-
-
Monthly or quarterly advisory retainer
-
No minimum build commitment
-
Clear scope, clear expectations, clear outcomes
-
Ideal For:
- Organizations with Palantir Foundry already live
-
Teams treating Foundry as an enterprise operating platform
-
Leaders accountable for long-term platform performance, including:
-
CIOs, CTOs
-
Heads of Data & Analytics
-
COOs and platform owners
-
If you are responsible for cost control, scalability, delivery velocity, and sustainability, this service is built for you.
This is not delivery, staff augmentation, or engineering support. It is advisory, strategic, and operational.
Where We Step In
Once Foundry is live, these are the four areas we focus on to turn it into something your teams use and trust.
Platform Cost & Value
-
Understanding usage patterns and cost drivers
-
Making intentional environment decisions (prod, non-prod, experimentation)
-
Forecasting cost as adoption grows
-
Connecting platform spend to real business value
Operating Model & Governance
-
Clear platform ownership and accountability
-
Decision rights that prevent stalls and rework
-
Data product lifecycle standards that teams can actually follow
-
Guardrails that protect the platform without slowing delivery
DevOps & Delivery Practices
-
Practical CI/CD patterns inside Foundry
-
Release management and quality controls
-
Environment promotion strategies
-
Reducing rework and long-term technical debt
Data Practice & Standards
-
Ontology governance that scales across teams
-
Consistent data product design patterns
-
Reuse and composability instead of duplication
-
Alignment across teams without forcing uniformity
How it Works
Light-touch, recurring advisory cadence
Executive and platform-lead working sessions
Structured reviews and recommendations
Reusable frameworks refined over time
Once established, this engagement becomes predictable, efficient, and high-leverage for both sides.
Now Let’s Figure Out What Comes Next.
Foundry is powerful – but only if it’s aligned to real use cases, real users, and real outcomes. If you’re unsure what to prioritize, what to build, or how to get adoption across your team, that’s exactly where we come in.
