Do you take New York clients in person?

Yes. Shawn Moore travels to New York quarterly; multi-day on-site sessions in Manhattan are standard. Most engagements combine on-site working sessions in New York Metropolitan Area with weekly video steering meetings between visits.

What does an engagement look like for a mid-market New York 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 New York Metropolitan Area mid-market is at an AI inflection point

New York is the world's largest financial and professional-services metro, and the densest AI-buyer market in North America, 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.

New York's mid-market is where AI strategy collides with the highest-consequence buyers on earth. Financial services, insurance, media, legal, and professional services all operate here at scale, and each has now published its own AI risk framework. The winning mid-market pattern is not louder pilots — it is defensible governance that lets the first production use case survive a client, regulator, or board challenge.

New York-specific considerations

The regulatory stack is unusually layered: NYDFS Circular Letter No. 7 (2024) governs insurer AI use; SEC and FINRA rules apply to broker-dealers and investment advisers; New York City Local Law 144 governs automated employment decision tools; and the New York State AI framework continues to advance quarterly. Every engagement starts with the specific regulator that matters most for the client.

New York has infinite technical talent and a persistent shortage of senior operators who can translate that talent into a board-ready plan without breaking legal, compliance, or brand. That translation layer is where most engagements sit.

How we work with New York clients

Most New York 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 New York quarterly; multi-day on-site sessions in Manhattan are standard. Engagements are invoiced in USD; Canadian entities of US clients can be billed in CAD on request.
