A 30-Minute Call With an Engineer, Not a Sales Pitch
Tell us what you are trying to build or fix. You get an initial technical view on the call and a written summary afterwards, including a rough scope and cost band, with no obligation.
What do you get from an Anviam free consultation?
A 30-minute call with a solutions engineer who has delivery experience in your area, covering what you want to build, who it serves, what already exists and your budget and timing constraints. You receive an initial feasibility and approach view during the call, followed by a written summary with our understanding, recommendation and a rough scope and cost band. There is no obligation, an NDA can be in place beforehand, and we will tell you if the project is not a good fit for us.

The Six Things We Work Through
A structured conversation rather than a discovery deck, so 30 minutes is enough to be genuinely useful.
The Problem
What is actually going wrong or missing today, in operational terms rather than as a feature list.
The Users
Who uses this, how often, and what they do instead right now. This shapes almost every later decision.
What Already Exists
Current systems, data and integrations, including the spreadsheets nobody mentions in the brief.
Build, Buy or Configure
Whether a product would serve you better. We say so when it would, and we say so fairly often.
Timeline & Constraints
Hard dates, compliance requirements and budget shape, so the recommendation is realistic rather than ideal.
A Sensible First Step
What we would do first, which is usually smaller than clients expect and gets to evidence faster.

Questions About the Consultation
What happens on the consultation call?
Thirty minutes with a solutions engineer, not a salesperson. We ask what you are trying to build or fix, who it is for, what already exists and what your constraints are on budget and timing. You get an initial view on approach and feasibility on the call, and a written summary afterwards covering what we understood, what we would recommend and a rough scope and cost band.
Is it genuinely free, and what is the catch?
It is free and there is no obligation. The written summary is yours whether or not you engage us. The honest framing is that a scoping conversation is how we decide whether a project is a good fit, and we decline work fairly often — projects too small for our process, or briefs where an off-the-shelf product would serve you better. You get that assessment either way.
What should I prepare beforehand?
Nothing formal. If you have a brief, wireframes, an existing site or app URL, or a list of systems it must integrate with, sending those in advance makes the call more useful. If you only have a problem and no solution yet, that is a perfectly good starting point and often a better one, because it leaves the approach open.
Will you sign an NDA before we talk?
Yes, before any detailed discussion, and we can use your NDA rather than ours. For an initial exploratory call most clients are comfortable without one, but if your idea or your data is sensitive, say so when you book and we will have it in place first.
Who will I actually be speaking to?
A solutions engineer with delivery experience in the relevant area, and where useful a technical lead from the practice concerned. You are not routed through an account manager who relays questions to someone else. If your project needs specialist input we would rather bring the specialist to the second call than guess on the first.
How quickly can you start if we go ahead?
For a dedicated team or staff augmentation, candidate profiles within three to five business days and onboarding within five to ten of you accepting. For fixed-scope project work, typically two to four weeks from signed scope, depending on the profiles required. If you have a hard date, tell us on the call and we will say plainly whether it is achievable.
