These problems are costing you more than you think

Mid-market companies running SQL Server hit the same four walls. Most can't see the dollar figure until it's too late.

Month-end close taking 3 days instead of 3 hours

SQL Server performance nobody can explain or fix

DBA team too small, too busy, or too expensive to scale

Data that can't connect to AI because the foundation is broken

The $5,000 AI Readiness Audit

Delivered in 5 business days
$5,000 flat fee · no retainer required

In 5 business days, we run a comprehensive diagnostic against your SQL Server environment and deliver a written report covering two things most consultants don't combine in one engagement: (1) where your database operations are silently costing you money (slow month-end closes, hidden capacity ceilings, query performance regressions), and (2) the specific, prioritized AI automation opportunities your stack is ready for right now.

You walk away with a health grade (A–F), a cost-of-inaction figure your CFO will recognize, a 90-day implementation roadmap your team can execute, and the clarity to either run with it yourself or bring us back to ship the high-impact pieces.

Ritzy AI is run by Mani, a senior DBA managing 58+ production SQL Server databases on AWS RDS. Multi-AZ deployments, SQL Server 2019 and 2022, Always On Availability Groups, provisioned IOPS on gp3, and deep experience resolving the kind of RDS-specific constraints (like async write throughput ceilings) that most teams don't discover until a production incident forces them to.

The Ritzy AI difference is the AI layer most consultants don't bring: production work with the Claude API, MCP integrations, and a custom diagnostic toolkit (dbaCore) built to turn
