Published Work
The published work of William Horschak — analytical essays on hospitality revenue, open records, and civic technology, alongside a decade of sports journalism at The Sports Judge.
Published
Writing grounded in first-hand work — and in one habit across all of it: read the evidence honestly and let the data, not instinct, settle the call.
In development
More pieces are being drafted now, each from first-hand work — hotels run in destination markets, records requests drafted and tracked, and civic-technology products in active design.
Group and tour contracts look like guaranteed revenue until they displace higher-rated transient demand on compressed nights. The arithmetic for deciding when to say yes, and at what rate.
Destination markets like Yellowstone and Yosemite run at or near nightly capacity in season. Lessons on staffing, guest-service recovery, and decision-making when there is no slack in the system.
Requester-side fundamentals: identifying the right custodian, drafting precise requests, tracking deadlines, preserving communications, and keeping productions organized from day one.
A stack of PDFs is not transparency. How indexing, gap analysis, and careful records organization convert raw productions into civic documentation citizens can actually navigate.
Most records tooling is built for agencies, not citizens. Notes toward requester-side software: drafting support, deadline tracking, communication preservation, and records organization in one workflow.
Sports Journalism
