Helping researchers connect and prepare data, with human expertise at the center.
Definition
Prepare and connect data. Leave the judgment with people.
MARC-MK is Satori Defense technology for research teams that already have complex information and need it in a form people can use. Human expertise stays in the work. The system does not replace the person who knows what a result means.
East Texas A&M University is the public account of MARC-MK in use. The university leads the Fire Data Consortium. MARC-MK supports that work by helping researchers prepare and bring datasets together. The consortium is proof. It is not a description of every dataset the technology can be asked to prepare.
These three verbs are the university’s, from the September 10, 2026 story. They describe preparation before analysis. They do not describe Satori deciding the science.
Clean
The university said MARC-MK can help researchers clean datasets before analysis. The researchers still decide what the evidence means.
Standardize
Records that were collected in different forms have to be made comparable before anyone can study them together. That is part of the preparation work the university described.
Combine
The university said the system can help combine datasets before large-scale analysis. Combining data is not the same thing as leading the research program those datasets belong to.
What it does not do
The boundary is the product.
It does not replace researchers or subject-matter experts. That is Siena Carroll’s statement to the university, and it is how Satori describes the work.
It does not lead the Fire Data Consortium. East Texas A&M University leads it.
It is not a firefighter-only product. The consortium is the public proof point.
It does not come with a general speed claim. That comparison is the university’s account of one data-preparation task. Satori does not publish it as a general performance guarantee.
AI does not replace ROARHP’s researchers or the consortium’s subject-matter experts. It gives them a more complete picture and the ability to work at a speed and scale that were not previously possible.

That comparison is the university’s account of one data-preparation task. Satori does not publish it as a general performance guarantee.
Deployment
On premises.
East Texas A&M University reported that MARC-MK operates on premises at ETAMU in a secure, closed-loop environment.
Satori’s About page says deployments are often in on-prem or controlled environments where data cannot simply be moved into third-party tools.
East Texas A&M University reported on September 10, 2026, that Dr. Michael Oldham said processing three months of wearable data manually once required five graduate assistants to spend approximately 200 hours organizing and preparing the information. The university reported that MARC-MK can accomplish comparable data-processing work in about 40 seconds.
That comparison is the university’s account of one data-preparation task. Satori does not publish it as a general performance guarantee.
Read that in the university’s words, then read how Satori fits: Fire Data Consortium.
MARC-MK is for teams that already collect complex data and need it prepared and connected before people can use it.
The About page describes Satori’s broader work as data infrastructure and applied analytics for organizations that need reliable information — research, operational readiness, safety, and day-to-day decisions among them. Public proof of MARC-MK, today, is the university consortium. This site does not turn that one story into a customer list.
Siena Carroll, co-founder and chief operating officer, is the person the university quoted on why the technology exists. Robert Moeller, founder and CEO, leads the company. His biography is on the About page. The machine-readable record is on brand facts.

Questions
What MARC-MK is, in short.
What is MARC-MK?
MARC-MK is Satori Defense technology. Helping researchers connect and prepare data, with human expertise at the center. East Texas A&M University reported that MARC-MK operates on premises at ETAMU in a secure, closed-loop environment. The university said the system can help researchers clean, standardize, and combine datasets before conducting large-scale analyses. The Fire Data Consortium is the public proof point, not a limit on the kind of data the technology can be asked to prepare.
East Texas A&M University reported that MARC-MK operates on premises at ETAMU in a secure, closed-loop environment. Satori’s About page says deployments are often in on-prem or controlled environments where data cannot simply be moved into third-party tools.
Research teams that already have complex data and need help preparing and connecting it, while human experts still decide what the evidence means. The Fire Data Consortium, led by East Texas A&M University, is the public example. MARC-MK is not a firefighter-only product.
What did the university report about preparation time?
East Texas A&M University reported on September 10, 2026, that Dr. Michael Oldham said processing three months of wearable data manually once required five graduate assistants to spend approximately 200 hours organizing and preparing the information. The university reported that MARC-MK can accomplish comparable data-processing work in about 40 seconds. That comparison is the university’s account of one data-preparation task. Satori does not publish it as a general performance guarantee.
No. Siena Carroll, co-founder and chief operating officer of Satori Defense, told the university: “AI does not replace ROARHP’s researchers or the consortium’s subject-matter experts. It gives them a more complete picture and the ability to work at a speed and scale that were not previously possible.” The university also reported that the researchers remain in control of what the evidence means.
What is Satori’s role in the Fire Data Consortium?
East Texas A&M University is leading the Fire Data Consortium, an effort to connect research on firefighter health and performance. Satori’s MARC-MK technology supports the project by helping researchers prepare and bring datasets together. Satori Defense supports the consortium and does not lead it.
