About

Practical tools, systems, and publishing surfaces by Mark Hay.

markhay.net is the central public identity for work around business intelligence, practical AI, automation, publishing, decision support, and small useful products. Some projects are live public tools, some are demos, and some are pilot workspaces with deliberately cautious status labels.

The shared operating rule is simple: be useful, expose limits clearly, and avoid dressing up experiments as proven customer outcomes.
