GrayStak is a media and intelligence platform built for an unstable world — where information warfare, mass protest, state violence, and economic disruption collide in real time. We uncover political risk early, treating civil unrest, grassroots dissent, and global fracture points as leading indicators of more profound systemic shifts. Our work combines field dispatches, strategic analysis, and emerging technologies to expose power, support resistance, and equip movements with the tools to navigate—and reshape—a world in crisis. With access to international institutions, policy networks, and the realities unfolding on the ground, GrayStak delivers deeply informed, immediate intelligence designed for those who can’t afford to wait. We are not neutral. We are here to connect what’s breaking with what’s next — and to build a strategy for those reimagining the future under pressure: mapping power, protest, and the space between.

GrayStak is supported by Cydonius, an independent, for-profit think tank with locations in Chicago, New York City & Washington, D.C.
