Human Insight + Tech Intelligent Curation

Florida Video Press Release is transparent about how our information is produced. We combine the judgment of an experienced business analyst with technology-assisted research. Technology gathers and structures public records, filings, and open-source data across Florida. A human analyst verifies it, adds judgment, and decides what is published.

The Analyst Behind the Work

Brian French, Founder and Publisher of the Florida Authority Network™, spent his career in financial services. He was a Financial Advisor at Shearson American Express and E.F. Hutton, a Common Stock Analyst at Independence Securities, Inc., and later a Vice President and Trust Officer at SunTrust and at Merrill Lynch, where he also worked as a Portfolio Manager with Merrill Lynch Trust Company and Merrill Lynch Investment Managers. He passed Level II of the CFA Program.

That career shapes how this network works. Analysts and trust professionals are expected to verify before they rely, to disclose conflicts, and to put accuracy ahead of speed. Brian applies the same professional conduct here, with the goal of producing accurate and useful Florida business news.

How AI Is Used

We use large language models to summarize lengthy public documents (court filings, SEC disclosures, county agendas), to cross-reference entity names across databases, to flag patterns for human review, and to help draft articles. Every article is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human editor before publication.

What AI Does Not Do Here

AI does not make editorial decisions about what to publish. AI does not generate quotes, statistics, or source attributions independently. Every factual claim in our own research traces back to a human-verified primary source, or is identified as a statement supplied by the business and dated.

Business-Supplied Information

For client profiles, a client intake questionnaire supplies facts about the business. Those facts are identified as supplied by the business and dated. We check them for consistency with public records and reasonableness, but we do not audit them.

Why This Transparency Matters

Florida business readers deserve to know how the information they rely on is produced. By publishing this protocol, Florida Video Press Release invites scrutiny of our methods. As the network grows, the same protocol applies to every writer and editor who contributes, and we update this page whenever our workflow materially changes.
