Our Vision
Enable humanity to see how one system moves another, anticipate cascading crises, and act with true foresight. We're ending civilization's blindness to itself.
A new kind of strategic intelligence
Founded by defense veterans Aaron Parker (CEO) and Jorden Gershenson (CTO), Aulendur Labs exists to end civilization's blindness to itself—building AI systems that reveal how one system moves another, so humanity can anticipate cascading crises and act with true foresight.
Our Belief
"We believe civilization's greatest weakness is its blindness to itself. Humanity has mapped the stars and split the atom, yet we still stumble through crises caused by our failure to see how one system moves another. A drought becomes a famine, a famine becomes a conflict, a conflict destabilizes markets and governments—and still our models remain trapped in silos, describing fragments of a single living planet. DeepLoom is our attempt to end that blindness."
Our Mission
Build DeepLoom—a planetary-scale model unifying physical and economic systems—and WeaveCast Platform, the interface that makes this intelligence usable. These are the technical implementations of our vision.
Our Approach
Prove technical components through defense contracts (MJOLNuR), open-source infrastructure (Cortex), and research partnerships (SideCast). We start with defense/government pilots where we can field securely, then expand outward.
Why now
The window is open
GraphCast‑class planetary modeling, cloud‑native array versioning (Zarr + IceChunk), and modern multi-domain training make cross-domain forecasting practical—right now.
Why us
Built to field, not just demo
We bring deep defense domain trust, cleared personnel, and on‑prem/ATO readiness—so we can pilot in real environments first (AFTAC relationships), then expand to energy, logistics, and markets.
Example questions:
- 14d: ERCOT reserve margin <5% risk (P10/P50/P90) + price spikes during heat events
- 90d: drought → crop shortfall → staple inflation → instability risk (hotspots + lead times)
- 6–8w: Mississippi low-water risk cutting barge throughput >30% + downstream price dislocations

Aulendur Labs' mission is to build the WeaveCast Platform and DeepLoom Model. DeepLoom is a planetary-scale AI model that unifies physical and economic systems, and WeaveCast Platform is the interface that makes this intelligence openly accessible. Together, they form the deep technical foundation for strategic intelligence at planetary scale.
Yes, all Aulendur Labs team members hold active TS/SCI security clearances. This enables Aulendur Labs to operate in classified government environments with on-premises deployment readiness and ATO (Authority to Operate) capability, which is critical for defense and intelligence community partnerships.
Aulendur Labs won a Phase I SBIR contract from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to develop MJOLNuR, a nuclear plume detection system using satellite data fusion and atmospheric modeling. Aulendur Labs has also established research partnerships with the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the SideCast cross-domain forecasting project.
Aulendur Labs proves technical components through defense contracts (MJOLNuR for satellite data fusion), open-source infrastructure (Cortex for model serving), and research partnerships (SideCast for cross-domain forecasting). Aulendur starts with defense and government pilots where the team can deploy securely, then expands to commercial verticals in energy, logistics, and markets.
