Do you think people in your company are generally satisfied with these solutions?
Yes, totally
Yes, Mostly
Not really
Not at all

Challenges and needs

In your opinion, what are the main challenges your company faces with velocity modeling today? (Select all that apply)
In your view, which of these two needs do you consider more important today?
Building velocity models from scratch
Updating and refining existing models
Both equally

Value of a new solution

If a new software solution could provide a more advanced and easily applicable geostatistical workflow (such as Estimages), do you think it could bring additional value to your projects?
Yes
No
I don't know
How valuable would it be to access a library of Regional Velocity Models, extract subsets when needed, and update them with your own data?
Very valuable
Moderately valuable
Slightly valuable
Not valuable
Would you trust an almost fully automated, ready-to-use geostatistical/AI-based workflow, or do you think expert support is still essential for producing high-quality velocity models?
A high-quality ready-to-use workflow is sufficient
Expert support is still essential
A hybrid approach is best
Would a solution combining software + a few days of expert consulting be attractive for your teams?
Yes
No
Possibly

Pricing and adoption criteria

Based on your knowledge of the market, what would be a reasonable annual license price for a new velocity modeling software product integrating a semi-automated geostatistical workflow and an easy update module?
Approximately $5,000 per year
Approximately $10,000 per year
More than $10,000 per year
What would be the key criteria for adopting such a module? (Select all that apply)
