Palantir Foundry app simulating the Hormuz closure: world map of severed and bypass routes, Japan shortfall before and after redistribution, and daily tanker transits
STORY

Built a network model of global crude oil trade from international trade databases to simulate the 2026 closure of the Strait and estimate how the supply loss spreads across countries. Focused on the indirect effects: supply is fixed, so every barrel granted is cut from another buyer, who in turn asks its own suppliers. Deployed it on Palantir Foundry as an interactive app with a data pipeline, a live scenario map and an AI agent to explain and manage each country's exposure.
