How this site is built and funded

This page says what Stratum Finance is, how it is produced, how it earns money and how to reach us. It does not list staff, and it explains why.

Function, funding, production

Function
An educational publication that operates independently, covering personal finance for engineers. It also helps readers who ask to find a licensed financial advisor, and stops there.
Revenue
Advertising, and advisor fees for introductions. Those are the two sources.
Production
Articles are drafted and structured with AI tools. Calculators list their assumptions on the page and run locally, so their inputs are not sent to us or tied to who you are.
Attribution
No named authors are listed. The articles have no single author to name, and a byline would imply expertise the site does not claim.
Independence
Advertisers and paying advisors do not choose, pay for or change what is written.
Contact
The contact page. It is the only channel, so corrections, privacy requests and questions all go there.
