# Boulder Insight > Boulder Insight is an AI, automation, and analytics consulting firm. We map business workflows, build the AI automation and analytics systems that replace manual operations, and train teams to run them. We serve enterprise, government, higher education, and mid-market clients. Disability-Owned Business Enterprise (DOBE) certified. Carahsoft partner for government procurement. Boulder Insight works in three areas: AI workflow automation (n8n orchestration, LLM agents, document processing), data visualization and analytics (Tableau, D3.js, custom embedded dashboards), and hands-on training so client teams can run what we build. - Our engagement model is a Fractional Topic Expert (FTE) approach: clients get a full team of specialists rather than a single consultant - We follow a workflows-first methodology: map how the business actually runs, then deploy the right mix of automation, dashboards, and training - Our position on training is that teams do not need to become AI experts. They need to recognize what AI can do for the work in front of them - We build with Tableau, D3.js, n8n, and multiple LLM providers - We design dashboards to Section 508 / WCAG standards, and this site is certified WCAG 2.1 AA - Founded and led by Chris Cox Every page linked below is also available as plain markdown: add .md to its URL, for example https://boulderinsight.com/training.md.
