Do you take Austin clients in person?

Yes. Shawn Moore travels to Austin quarterly. Most engagements combine on-site working sessions in Austin–Round Rock with weekly video steering meetings between visits.

What does an engagement look like for a mid-market Austin company?

The typical sequence is a 2–4 week paid AI Growth Audit ($15K–$35K range), followed by a fixed-scope 90-Day Execution Blueprint ($25K–$50K range). Most companies decide on the long-term advisory shape — fractional CAIO, internal hire, or quarterly cadence — only after one full 90-day cycle.

Why Austin–Round Rock mid-market is at an AI inflection point

Austin is Texas's fastest-growing tech capital and a major semiconductor and B2B SaaS hub, and its mid-market is in the middle of an uneven AI inflection. RSM's 2025 Middle Market AI Survey found 91% of mid-market organizations across the US and Canada now use generative AI in operations, but the same survey flagged that governance maturity and internal expertise still lag adoption sharply across every US metro.

Austin's mid-market has grown faster than almost any comparable US metro over the last five years. Semiconductors, B2B SaaS, life sciences, and financial services all now anchor the city — and each is deploying AI on a different clock.

Texas-specific considerations

Texas's Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA, effective July 2024) governs consumer data handling. AI-specific state activity continues to advance; sector-specific frameworks (SEC, FINRA, NAIC AI Model Bulletin for insurers, HIPAA for health) apply as always.

Austin's technical bench has depth; executive AI ownership at the mid-market CEO tier is thinner than the tech-conference calendar suggests.

How we work with Austin clients

Most Austin engagements run on a hybrid cadence: on-site working sessions when scope warrants, weekly video steering meetings, and async document review between sessions. Shawn Moore travels to Austin quarterly. Engagements are invoiced in USD; Canadian entities of US clients can be billed in CAD on request.
