Why can’t Palantir design the system and test it on some mock dataset or a portion of the dataset after which an engineer actually working for NHS tests the system on the whole data in an isolated environment that does not feed the data back to anywhere else. I thought their only role was organizational. Why do they need unrestricted access to the whole dataset so badly?

GTFO with your logic and reason. They clearly don't need that here.

Who doesn't clearly need what? On another note, I think the people who generally need to GTFO of discussions are the ones lacking discussion skills.

Just being glib.
