How do the two ontologies differ?

Palantir models the enterprise before it models the process: a single semantic layer across the estate, built up front. MouRio models the entities the agents actually touch and extends outward as you automate more. The result is the same governed grounding without a modelling programme standing between you and the first working agent — and the ontology you end up with is the one your processes proved they needed, rather than the one designed in advance.

We are already on Foundry. Where does MouRio fit?

Foundry holds a portion of your estate; your processes cross all of it. MouRio runs the agents that touch systems Foundry does not, and gives you an independent governance and audit layer that is not owned by the same vendor as the data platform — which is a position most risk functions prefer. Your Foundry investment stays exactly as it is.

How does MouRio handle data it does not own?

Through governed connectors that read from the source under scoped credentials, with every retrieval recorded in the run's lineage. The system of record stays authoritative and nothing is copied into a second platform — which means no migration to fund, no duplicate to keep in sync, and no new place for your data to live.

Ontology-led AI on Foundry

MouRio vs Palantir AIP

Palantir asks you to bring your enterprise onto its data platform first. MouRio governs agents over the systems you already run — and gets there in weeks.

What Palantir AIP is

AIP is Palantir's AI layer built on top of Foundry. Its central idea is the ontology: a semantic model of your entities, relationships and actions, against which agents reason and act with inherited permissions and lineage. It is a serious piece of engineering, and the ontology concept is the right one.

Cost

How each one charges you

Palantir's model bundles a data platform and an embedded engineering engagement alongside the software, typically on a multi-year commitment. MouRio is a fixed annual subscription your own team operates, against the systems of record you already run — no metering, and no consolidation programme to fund first.

Cost comparison between MouRio and Palantir AIP
Capability	MouRio	Palantir AIP
How you are charged
Pricing basis	Fixed annual subscription	Enterprise agreement — platform subscription, commonly multi-year
What is metered	None — not per agent, per user, per query or per message	Users, data volume and ontology scope
Model usage	Billed to you directly by your model provider, at your negotiated rate	Included in the platform agreement
Infrastructure	Runs on infrastructure you already own	Included, or deployed into your cloud under the agreement
Implementation	Your team, with our architects	Forward-deployed engineers, typically a priced engagement
What drives the bill up
What makes your bill grow	Nothing — the subscription is flat	Data onboarded, users, and scope of the ontology
Cost of widening scope	Reuse existing components	More data onboarding and more engineering
Prerequisite spend before value	None — works against existing systems	Data consolidation and ontology modelling
Typical commitment	Annual	Multi-year
Repeat work gets cheaper, not just cappedA useful conversation is saved as a reusable skill and reruns at ~12% of the tokens it took to discover — so the same task costs less the second time	Yes	Not a metered dimension
Cost that never appears on an invoice
Engineering to build governance, approvals and auditRegistry, policy enforcement, replayable lineage, approval routing	Included in the platform	Included — governance is a core strength
Team time to run and upgrade the platform itself	Vendor-maintained	Vendor-maintained
Ongoing maintenance as systems change	Reconfigure in the studio	Vendor-assisted, often via the FDE engagement
Cost of moving off the platform later	Low — agents and policies are configuration in your tenant	High — the ontology and pipelines are Palantir-resident

Where they differ

What actually changes if you pick MouRio

No data platform migration
MouRio reads your systems where they already live — Snowflake, SharePoint, Salesforce, Teamcenter, Box, ServiceNow, SQL — and layers governed context over them. There is no prerequisite consolidation programme before the first agent goes live.
Ontology scoped to the work
MouRio's data ontology gives agents shared, governed meaning for the entities they actually touch — and grows outward as you automate more. That is a deliberately narrower promise than modelling the entire enterprise up front, and it is why the first agent ships in weeks rather than quarters.
Weeks, not quarters
MouRio's engagement model is process discovery, encoded guardrails, shadow-mode validation, then promotion to production. Each stage produces a concrete deliverable, and the first governed agent typically reaches shadow mode inside six weeks.
A platform you can actually leave
Agents, policies and connector configuration are yours, in your tenant, expressible as configuration rather than as a proprietary data estate. The cost of changing your mind about MouRio is materially lower than the cost of changing your mind about a consolidated data platform.
