We close out the three-part series with Joe and Ryan from Cavtera, and this is the one that actually answers the question the first two episodes set up. Turns out the code you build inside Palantir Foundry belongs to you — Joe compares it to Microsoft Word, nobody thinks Word owns your essay. So who's really steering a company's tech? Not IT, not finance — the guys actually paving Main Street. We get into why Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited named their whole operating system after Tom himself (there's a story here involving a Volkswagen, a sandwich, and a highway shoulder that's worth the price of admission alone), and why a schedule that only lives in a binder never poured a yard of concrete. I leave you with the real question: are you willing to define your own business, honestly? That's the price of admission before any of this works.
