Built on 60 years of conflict resolution research

Understand conflict clearly. Resolve it responsibly.

One mediation engine for writing, chat, talking, live sessions, prep, and follow-up.

CONCORDIA turns generic AI into context-embedded conflict work: it extracts the elements of conflict, connects them to theory, remembers the user and case, and produces actionable mediator moves with evidence and guardrails.

Mediator Packs

One Mediator. Eleven Voices.

A couple mediation sounds different from a commercial dispute from turn one. CONCORDIA loads a domain-specific voice, register, and intervention set for each case type — no generic platitudes, no off-register language.

Case Portfolio

Four Steps to Resolution

One-time onboarding, guided intake, solo prep, then the live session. Each step saved — nothing ever re-explained.

01

Onboarding

Five slim steps: your profession, your communication style, your Thomas-Kilmann conflict style. Done once. The mediator adapts to you from turn 1.

02

Case Intake

CONCORDIA asks six structured questions in text. Gemini extracts parties, claims, interests, constraints, events — the full TACITUS ontology — before anyone speaks.

03

Solo Prep

Voice or text — your choice, switchable mid-session. Talk through the case one-on-one with CONCORDIA. Build your BATNA, surface your own interests, rehearse what you want to say.

04

Live Mediation

The joint session — no re-explaining. Pack-aware register (couple sounds different from commercial), continuous primitive extraction, 46-framework matcher, signed-off agreements.

The CONCORDIA Engine

A reusable mediation engine at the center of the app

The hard part is not another chat UI. The hard part is a solid core that can run independently, plug into voice or text, build a case graph, connect evidence to theory, and generate bounded next moves.

Reusable core

API-ready mediation engine

01

1. Evidence enters once

voice · text · docs

Voice, Push-to-Talk, typed messages, documents, intake answers, and operator notes are normalized into the same evidence stream.

02

2. TACITUS extracts the conflict

8 primitives

The engine identifies actors, claims, interests, constraints, leverage, commitments, events, narratives, contradictions, fears, and open questions with provenance.

03

3. Case and theory graphs align

theory graph

A live case graph is compared with mediation theory: principled negotiation, NVC, transformative, restorative, Glasl, BATNA/ZOPA, and procedural justice.

04

4. Dispute material becomes a representation

representation

Claims, interests, constraints, risks, commitments, and open gaps become actor lanes, dispute frames, transformation targets, and visualization hints.

05

5. Governance packet is produced

approval-aware

The mediator receives a bounded packet: what to clarify next, which evidence supports it, what not to say, and when operator approval is required.

06

6. Knowledge persists

durable memory

Primitives, graph deltas, conversation intelligence, agreements, unresolved questions, and source links survive reloads and follow-up sessions.

Governed mediator packet

Say next only after approval: "What standard would feel fair to both of you?" Prohibited: invent facts, pressure settlement, expose private alternatives.

Capabilities

Everything a Mediator Needs

Psychological Profiling

Thomas-Kilmann conflict styles, Plutchik emotional mapping, Mayer/Davis/Schoorman trust — updated live.

Knowledge Graph

TACITUS 8-primitive ontology extracted into a live conflict graph. Every claim, interest, and event structured.

Theory Grounding

Frameworks, concepts, cautions, source links, and playable intervention cards connected to the actual case context.

Agreement Readiness

A live readiness score shows whether commitments, authority, criteria, party voice, and safety conditions support drafting.

De-escalation AI

Monitors Gottman's Four Horsemen. Applies Ury's 5 techniques and Glasl 9-stage interventions automatically.

Evidence-Bound Action Plan

Every next move is tied to evidence IDs, unresolved gaps, theory rationale, priority, and whether to speak now or queue it.

Push-to-Talk & Text Mode

Hold-to-talk buttons for each party enforce a clean speaker mutex. Text-input fallback for voice-optional contexts.

Multi-Party Sessions

2–6 participants with unique color coding across all intelligence panels — emotion timelines, fairness radar, escalation meters.
