# Boulder Insight

> Boulder Insight is an AI workflow engineering, data visualization, and analytics consulting firm. We build AI-powered automation systems, interactive dashboards (Tableau, D3.js), and train teams to use them. We serve enterprise, government, higher education, and mid-market clients. Disability-Owned Business Enterprise (DOBE) certified. Carahsoft partner for government procurement.

Boulder Insight specializes in three core areas: AI workflow automation (n8n orchestration, LLM agents, document processing), data visualization and analytics (Tableau, D3.js, custom embedded dashboards), and hands-on AI and analytics training programs.

- Our engagement model is a Fractional Topic Expert (FTE) approach - clients get access to a full team of specialists rather than a single consultant
- We follow a workflows-first methodology: map how the business actually runs, then design and deploy the right mix of automation, dashboards, and training
- We use premium tools including Tableau, D3.js, n8n, and various LLM providers
- We design and develop dashboards with Section 508 / WCAG compliance in mind
- Founded and led by Chris Cox
