Colorado AI Law Readiness in 2-4 Weeks
Law update (May 2026): Colorado's original CAIA (SB24-205) was repealed and replaced by SB26-189 — the Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT) Act — before it took effect. The new deadline is January 1, 2027. The compliance work below applies directly to the new law.
Meet your SB 26-189 obligations before January 1, 2027. Get your ADMT inventory, pre-use disclosure notices, adverse-decision workflows, and human-review processes designed and documented — all 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
SB 26-189 requires disclosure notices and human-review workflows. You can't build those around ADMT you haven't inventoried.
The Solution: Systematic AI Discovery & Documentation
Our 2-4 week assessment identifies every ADMT touchpoint in your organization, maps consequential decisions per SB 26-189, and delivers the disclosure notices and human-review workflows you need to comply.
