TACITUS was built by practitioners who spent careers inside conflict — not observing it from the outside. We built the infrastructure we wished we had.
Our Thesis
Most conflict persists not because parties are irrational, but because the structure of the disagreement is invisible. Actors can't see each other's interests. Evidence is buried in unstructured text. Temporal sequences collapse into arguments.
Make the structure visible — and resolution becomes possible.

Founder & CEO
New York City
Building at the intersection of conflict resolution and AI infrastructure. Former United Nations Political Affairs Officer — built TACITUS from the knowledge management systems developed in the field, formalizing them into a proprietary ontology and engineering the full platform. Domain expertise in multilateral diplomacy, structured negotiation, and conflict analysis.
Exceptional engineers who want to build the infrastructure layer for conflict-aware AI.
Conflict Resolution
Mediators, negotiators, and peace practitioners who validate the ACO against real-world dispute structures.
AI & Graph Systems
Engineers and researchers with expertise in knowledge graph architecture, LLM grounding, and neurosymbolic AI.
Legal & Governance
Attorneys, compliance specialists, and institutional practitioners who ensure the framework meets professional standards.
Philosophy
Conflict is not a pathology to cure. It is an information problem to understand.
“It is the rare fortune of these days that one may think what one likes and say what one thinks.”
— Tacitus, Histories I.1
“Rara temporum felicitate, ubi sentire quae velis, et quae sentias dicere licet.”
Concordia Discors
At the philosophical heart of TACITUS is the principle of Concordia Discors: the belief that unity does not require uniformity, and that sustainable peace emerges from structured pluralism, not imposed consensus.
Where the theory lives. TACITUS is the engineering; Concordia Discors is the philosophy.
Design Principles
Friction peaks where structure is hidden. Making conflict legible is the first step toward resolution.
Unity is not uniformity. Sustainable peace emerges from structured pluralism, not imposed consensus.
The engine has no opinion. TACITUS structures conflict — it does not adjudicate it.
AI informs decisions. Humans make them. The graph provides structure; professionals provide judgment.
Conflict data is among the most sensitive data that exists. Security by design — not by afterthought.
Conflict legibility leads to better resolution. Everything we build serves that thesis.
We're looking for engineers, partners, and practitioners who believe legibility enables resolution.
