Do you take Houston clients in person?

Yes. Shawn Moore travels to Houston quarterly. Most engagements combine on-site working sessions in Greater Houston with weekly video steering meetings between visits.

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

AI Consultant for Houston and Greater Houston Mid-Market CEOs

Why Greater Houston mid-market is at an AI inflection point

Houston is the global energy capital and one of the largest medical-center economies in the world, 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.

Houston's mid-market runs on energy (upstream, midstream, oilfield services), petrochemicals, logistics, and the Texas Medical Center. AI use cases here skew operational — reserve modeling, predictive maintenance, catalyst optimization, clinical workflow — with ROI signatures measured in unit economics.

Texas-specific considerations

Texas TDPSA governs consumer data handling. Energy sector clients operate under sector-specific frameworks (PHMSA, BSEE, state RRC); healthcare clients navigate HIPAA and Texas-specific health privacy rules.

Houston's operating talent depth in energy and healthcare is significant; executive-layer AI ownership at the mid-market CEO tier is where most engagements sit.

How we work with Houston clients

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