# Build an enterprise survey platform like Qualtrics

Advanced branching, scoring, and role-restricted reporting for research-grade surveys — with clear limits on what stays in scope.

## In brief

- **Category:** Forms, surveys & research
- **Build from:** Modules, workflows, and the page editor
- **Extend with:** Your container when you outgrow the visual tools

## Data model

Build these as [modules and custom fields](../builder-guide/menus-user-types.html)  — no schema migration, no code required to add a field or a relationship:

- Advanced survey definitions (matrix questions, answer piping, branching)
- NPS / CSAT / CES score fields
- Role-restricted dashboard definitions
- Distribution schedules

## Pages

Compose these in the [page editor](../builder-guide/page-editor.html)  from data-bound blocks, or start from a template pack and customize from there:

- Survey renderer with branching and piping
- Role-scoped results dashboard
- Cross-tab report view

## Automation: score-triggered follow-up

Model this as a [workflow](../builder-guide/workflows.html)  — each bullet is naturally one step, run automatically on the trigger:

1. A response is scored (NPS/CSAT/CES)
2. A low score creates a support ticket automatically
3. Sentiment analysis runs on free-text responses
4. Results roll into the role-restricted dashboard on schedule

## Market and pricing

Read these as directional

Market sizes and competitor prices move constantly, and published figures vary widely by source and methodology. Treat the numbers below as order-of-magnitude orientation for deciding what to build — not as researched inputs for a pitch deck or a pricing page. Verify current figures before either.

| Segment | Experience management / enterprise survey |
| --- | --- |
| Market size (directional) | A $10–20B category with genuinely enterprise budgets — the highest average contract values in this list. |
| Who actually buys | Enterprise research, HR, and customer-experience teams |
| Where incumbents price | Enterprise experience platforms are quoted annually, commonly $5,000–100,000+/year depending on scope. |
| Suggested entry pricing | **$10,000–60,000/year for a focused vertical or departmental edition** |

## Building in more value

Where the margin actually lives — the upgrades and add-ons worth designing in from the start rather than bolting on later:

- Annual contracts, not monthly — this buyer expects and prefers it, and it transforms your cash flow
- Response volume and distribution tiers
- Role-restricted dashboards for executive stakeholders as a premium seat type
- Sentiment and text analytics as an AI add-on
- Implementation, survey design, and analysis services — often as large as the license

## The BuildWithHQ angle

Be precise about scope here: this covers the operational core well — branching, scoring, role-gated reporting, automated escalation. Conjoint analysis and advanced statistical modeling are specialized research tooling, best positioned as external analytics integrations rather than implied as a standard feature.
