Do you take Denver clients in person?

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

What does an engagement look like for a mid-market Denver 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.

How do you handle Colorado SB 24-205?

Every Colorado engagement is scoped against SB 24-205 explicitly — identifying whether the client is a developer, deployer, or both; classifying use cases against the Act's high-risk definitions; and structuring documentation to meet the Act's algorithmic-impact and notice obligations before the February 2026 effective date.

Why Denver–Aurora–Lakewood mid-market is at an AI inflection point

Denver is the Mountain West's largest business market and home to the first comprehensive US state AI law, 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.

Denver's mid-market runs on aerospace, energy, telecom, financial services, and a growing B2B SaaS cluster. Colorado's early move on AI legislation has made Denver mid-market CEOs among the most focused on governance in the US.

Colorado-specific considerations

Colorado's AI Act (SB 24-205), signed May 2024 and effective February 1, 2026, is the first comprehensive US state AI law and imposes duties on developers and deployers of high-risk AI systems. Every Colorado engagement is scoped against SB 24-205 explicitly.

Denver's technical talent bench is strong; the operator layer that translates SB 24-205 into a Q3 execution plan is the scarce resource.

How we work with Denver clients

Most Denver 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 Denver quarterly. Engagements are invoiced in USD; Canadian entities of US clients can be billed in CAD on request.
