TACITUS ◳
CLARITY IN ANY CONFLICT
Tacitus ◳ is a multi-source conflict-intelligence and resolution technology stack that converts unstructured signals into an ontology-governed, graph-encoded model of human friction, cooperation, incentives, and escalation. By verticalizing the most advanced work in conflict resolution, negotiation theory, psychology, and deliberative systems, Tacitus ◳ renders complex environments structurally coherent—supporting users across the full spectrum of disputes, from interpersonal tensions and organizational breakdowns to institutional crises and geopolitical confrontations.
At its core is a deterministic ingestion-to-graph pipeline that turns ambiguity into structured intelligence: extracting actors, interests, narratives, and temporal dynamics into a unified model of information asymmetry. This makes conflict legible—illuminating leverage points, escalation vectors, and latent common ground. Tacitus already powers operational tools across domains, including clustered political-tribe intelligence, conflict-graph visualization engines, and polarization-narrative reframing systems, demonstrating what becomes possible when resolution technology is built on a shared ontological spine.
EVERY CONFLICT IS INFORMATION ASYMMETRY.

Tacitus is a Conflict Operating System that turns raw narratives into structured clarity using ontology, real-time graph modeling, and resolution-focused analytics.
1. Ingest & Decode
Multi-source. Ontology-governed.
Tacitus ingests signals from what you share: Email, documents, text, or WhatsApp. AI agents break them down into conflict primitives—actors, relationships, constraints, motivations, sentiment, polarization markers, and escalation precursors.
2. Agentic Conflict Ontology (ACO)
A structure for every conflict.
ACO transforms extracted units into consistent conflict objects through strict actor classes and invariant relations. This allows Tacitus to make interpersonal, organizational, and geopolitical conflicts AI interpretable. The complexity differs; the underlying ontology remains constant.
3. Graph-Native Conflict Model
Relational Graph vs Traditional DB.
Conflict is a web of pressures. Tacitus compiles every signal into a live property graph encoding actors, interests, support, conflict, pressure, and entropy. Layered graph analytics surface escalation paths and points of convergence where relationships are first-class citizens.
4. Resolution Interfaces
Resolution Pathways. Delivered.
All tools draw from a single conflict graph, making dynamics legible. Informed by negotiation theory, the system reveals how narratives harden and where movement is possible. It surfaces the Resolution Deficit—the gap between experience and structure—offering evidence-based paths forward.
