Colorado AI Act Readiness in 2-4 Weeks
Establish your affirmative defense before the June 2026 deadline. Get complete AI documentation, impact assessments, and NIST AI RMF alignment—without hiring a full-time compliance team.
The Challenge: Most Companies Don't Know Where Their AI Is
AI isn't just chatbots—it's embedded in your CRM, HR tools, and vendor services. Without a systematic audit, you can't document what you haven't identified.
Tool Sprawl
Salesforce Einstein, HubSpot AI, LinkedIn Recruiter—AI features you may not realize you're using.
Shadow AI
Employees using ChatGPT and Copilot for decisions without documentation or oversight.
Third-Party Vendors
Your payroll, background check, and insurance vendors use AI—you're responsible for their compliance.
No Documentation
CAIA requires written impact assessments. You can't document what you haven't inventoried.
The Solution: Systematic AI Discovery & Documentation
Our 2-4 week assessment identifies every AI touchpoint in your organization, classifies high-risk systems per CAIA, and delivers the documentation you need to establish your affirmative defense.
