Palantir uses a 'predicate-based search' approach rather than algorithmic data mining: instead of running algorithms across large datasets to find suspicious patterns, analysts specify a person or entity of interest and then examine what data in the system relates to them, making the search process transparent and traceable.

“what we do is we use what legal Scholars call a predicate based to search so we would look at you and then we would go out and say oh there's lots of different things in your life that may be indicative of someone being someone involved in bad behavior but it would also be very clear how the government looked at you”
