## Questions

### How much does AI agent implementation cost in 2026?

Published SMB bands cluster at $15,000 to $35,000 for a first production build, stretching to $60,000–$75,000 for multi-system work. Helixfield prices a single agent at $24,000, a shared Loop & Graph at $36,000, and a multi-system install at $48,000.

### How much is a Helixfield Field Survey?

$9,500 for two to three weeks. It maps loops, ranks agent fit, recommends a vendor door, and produces a 90-day install plan. It does not include production agents.

### Are vendor seats included in Helixfield fees?

No. Vendor seats and API usage — Grok, ChatGPT Business, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and peers — are client-paid pass-throughs. In 2026 those commonly run $200 to $1,500 per month on top of the practice fee, depending on the door.

### Do you bill hourly?

Prefer fixed fees. If a buyer demands hourly, the fallback is $285 per hour, in the middle of the 2026 practitioner band of $150–$500.

### Why not hire a Big Four firm?

Boutique agent installs commonly run $20,000–$80,000 in two to four months. Big Four programs often quote $150,000–$500,000 and six to twelve months. Helixfield is built for mid-market operating companies, not enterprise transformation theater.
