Houston market
Houston's buyer mix is energy, industrial services, healthcare and large professional firms. Projects often need durable B2B UX, complex forms and CRM integrations more than flashy consumer branding. Security, uptime and a U.S. vendor of record matter in RFPs. CT overlap covers most client standups; on-site kickoffs in the Energy Corridor or Medical Center are common when scoped. For AI development, that usually means scopes tied to energy & industrial and healthcare buyers, with neighborhood coverage across Downtown, Midtown, The Energy Corridor, Galleria, The Woodlands. Enterprise-leaning scopes run larger than consumer SMB work. Fixed quotes with milestone billing fit procurement better than open-ended hourly retainers.
