First paid step
A $9,500 look before anyone buys extra AI seats.
A Field Survey is Helixfield’s first paid step: $9,500 for two to three weeks. We map one repeating job, say whether a software helper belongs on it, recommend which AI tools to use, and write a 90-day plan. It does not include a live helper. You are not obliged to buy an install afterward.
For mid-market operators who can name the work that repeats and are not ready to buy a $24,000 setup on a hunch.

What it is
A look at the work. A written plan.
Companies that know they need help and do not yet know which job to automate first.
01
A diagnostic. Interviews, a look at how the work actually runs, and a written map of the jobs that already repeat.
02
A ranking of where a helper would pay back — and where it would not.
03
A recommendation of AI tools from the job: OpenAI, Grok, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, or whatever fits today. Not a lock-in.
04
A 90-day plan and a starter list of facts, each marked proposed, accepted, or ask.
05
Yours to keep even if you never buy an install.
What it is not
Do not buy this if you need a live helper this month.
- A live helper. Nothing is set up in your systems during the survey.
- A seat license, a chatbot widget, or a month of retainer.
- A discount to win the next buy. The survey is not marked down.
- A promised ROI, DSO cut, or invented case study.
- A requirement to pick an AI brand before we start.
How it runs
A short note. Two to three weeks. A written plan.
- 01
Name the job
You send a short briefing: the work that repeats, the tools you already pay for, and the person who would own it. Empty “we need AI” notes are declined.
- 02
We look
Two to three weeks. Interviews and a look at how the work actually runs. Read access only. We do not write into your systems.
- 03
You get a written plan
A map of the repeating work, ranked options, a recommended set of AI tools, a starter list of facts, and a 90-day plan.
- 04
You decide
Buy a published setup, buy teaching, or stop. Typical next buys are $24,000 or $36,000. Circuit at $6,800 per month is the usual plan after a later launch — not part of the survey.
