Personal views

INTGOM is John Cairney’s personal home for experiments and occasional writing. Views here are my own. They do not represent any former employer or organisations I advise. Professional engagements through Cairney Advisory are separate.

Experiments, not promises

I describe what I have tried and what happened in those circumstances. Tools change, results vary and an experiment that works for me may not work for you. A promising test print is not evidence of customer demand, and an interesting business idea is not a claim of revenue or guaranteed returns.

Information and judgement

These articles are general information and personal commentary. They are not personalised financial, investment, tax, legal or medical advice. Check important facts and seek appropriate professional advice before making decisions in those areas.

I aim to be accurate, but AI tools can make mistakes and so can I. Articles reflect their publication date unless marked as updated. If you spot an error, please tell me.

AI-generated content

AI is part of the work documented here. AI-generated artwork is labelled, including the image in Experiment 001. Images can depict imagined objects rather than physical ones; the metallic flowers shown are generated images, not photographs of sculptures. AI assistance does not remove my responsibility for what I publish.

Commercial interests and links

This version of the site has no affiliate links, sponsored articles or checkout. If I later receive payment, a commission, free products or another material benefit connected with a piece, I will disclose it clearly alongside that content. Links to tools and other websites are for context; they are not guarantees of their claims or suitability.

Sharing and reuse

You are welcome to link to the site. For permission to reproduce articles or use artwork commercially, contact hello@intgom.com. Rights in third-party material remain with the relevant owners; the legal treatment of AI-generated material can differ from that of human-created work.
