What you will be able to do

Measure Helix value as a concrete before/after number that wins renewals.

The idea

Pick a metric in discovery and measure it after. "8 hours to 15 minutes" beats adjectives.

No number, no renewal story.

Baseline: 8h chart audit
After: 15m with copilot
Method: 20-case sample

If you cannot measure it, you cannot renew it.

Key takeaways

  • Choose the metric early.
  • Measure the same way.
  • Bring the number to renewal.
