Editor & publisher

Mike Straney

Mike is the editor and publisher of Orlando Technology. He brings a CPA’s habit of asking how claims are supported, a technologist’s interest in systems, and a local operator’s focus on whether information helps someone make a better decision.

Orlando Technology is independent. Coverage is selected for usefulness to the local ecosystem, not because an organization bought a favorable mention.

Methodology

How a guide gets made

  1. Define the reader’s decision. Every guide starts with a practical question.
  2. Map the local context. We look for institutions, corridors, employers, events and clusters.
  3. Check primary sources. We prefer official organization pages, public reports and direct company information.
  4. Separate fact from interpretation. Analysis is labeled as analysis.
  5. Revisit material that ages. Dates, employers, events, links and claims are reviewed when updated.

Sourcing policy

Evidence before polish.

Source links appear with guides when they help readers verify a claim, continue research or contact an organization. We do not treat a press release, search snippet or unsourced ranking as independent confirmation.

Some articles contain editorial synthesis. That is useful, but it is not the same thing as a reported fact.

Minor typos may be fixed quietly; material factual corrections will be noted.

Sponsorship policy

Paid visibility is labeled.

Sponsored articles, partner features, paid listings and affiliate relationships will be clearly identified. Sponsors do not receive editorial approval over independent coverage, rankings or corrections.

Coverage standard

What qualifies an organization or event for coverage?

Local relevance

A meaningful Orlando or Central Florida connection.

Useful signal

It helps readers understand a cluster, find an opportunity or take a credible next step.

Evidence

There is a verifiable public source, named organizer or clear way to learn more.

Distinctiveness

It adds specific local substance rather than generic promotion.

Coverage is not an endorsement, ranking or guarantee.
