Question 1

What is TACITUS?

Accepted Answer

TACITUS is conflict intelligence infrastructure — a governed data layer that transforms scattered dispute traces into structured knowledge graphs with temporality, causality, and provenance preserved.

Question 2

How is TACITUS different from standard LLMs?

Accepted Answer

Standard LLMs lack persistent memory, cannot track temporal ordering of events, and hallucinate on conflict facts. TACITUS provides a deterministic knowledge graph layer that grounds LLM reasoning.

Question 3

What industries does TACITUS serve?

Accepted Answer

TACITUS serves HR disputes, legal litigation, commercial conflicts, diplomatic negotiations, institutional governance, and humanitarian conflict analysis.

Question 4

What products are in the TACITUS suite?

Accepted Answer

The TACITUS suite includes six products: Conflict Compass (conflict navigation), Wind Tunnel (societal simulation), PRAXIS (the conflict operating system), CONCORDIA (live mediation intelligence), and ARGUS (document intelligence). All are built on the same Core Engine and Conflict Ontology.

Question 5

How does TACITUS work?

Accepted Answer

TACITUS uses a neurosymbolic architecture combining a deterministic knowledge graph with LLM reasoning. Unstructured text about conflicts is extracted into a typed graph using an 8-primitive Conflict Ontology (Actor, Claim, Interest, Constraint, Leverage, Commitment, Event, Narrative), preserving temporal ordering, causal chains, and source provenance.

Question 6

Is TACITUS open source?

Accepted Answer

The TACITUS Knowledge Pipeline is open source on GitHub under an MIT license. The core platform products (Compass, Wind Tunnel, PRAXIS, CONCORDIA, ARGUS) are commercial offerings with free demo access available.

Question 7

What is the TACITUS Conflict Ontology?

Accepted Answer

The Conflict Ontology is a formal knowledge representation with 8 primitives (Actor, Claim, Interest, Constraint, Leverage, Commitment, Event, Narrative), 41+ classes, and 29+ typed properties. It provides a universal grammar for structuring any dispute — from workplace HR cases to international negotiations.

Question 8

How is TACITUS different from Other companies?

Accepted Answer

Other popular companies are general-purpose data integration platform. TACITUS is purpose-built for conflict — it provides a domain-specific ontology, conflict-native reasoning, and products designed for dispute resolution, mediation, and peace & security workflows. TACITUS makes conflict structure legible; others makes data accessible.
