For teams who already know exactly what they want worked on. This block is best for narrowly scoped tuning tasks, follow-up work from a prior investigation, or cleaning up specific problems.

For long-running initiatives or teams that want sustained senior involvement across performance, architecture, and delivery. This is not exploratory work—it’s a commitment to ongoing execution with priority access.

This is the smallest block that works like part-time senior SQL Server help. It allows for hands-on tuning, iteration, validation, and course correction across multiple issues. Best if you already know performance work is needed but don’t want a one-off engagement.

For teams that want sustained hands-on SQL Server performance work. This supports deeper tuning, refactoring, repeated testing, and collaboration over time. Ideal when performance work competes with internal priorities and needs dedicated senior attention.

For organizations that need senior SQL Server performance capacity for an extended period. This functions like a temporary senior DBA/developer focused on performance execution, not advisory work.

For teams who want fewer performance surprises over time. This is a broad review of your SQL Server environment to identify systemic risks, concurrency pressure points, and fragile patterns. The goal is to understand how your workload behaves today—and which problems are likely to surface next—so you can act before they become incidents. Delivered as a written report with recommendations and code, within 2–3 days.

Get a SQL Server health check to quickly assess performance and stability issues. Just run my data collector, send me the zip file, and I'll go over all the numbers to produce a PDF document detailing short, medium, and long-term changes you can make to your SQL Server. You should choose this option if you're not comfortable making the changes on your own. If you are, choose the option without consulting hours.

For when a specific SQL Server performance problem is blocking progress and you don’t have time to experiment. This is a targeted investigation into one concrete issue: timeouts, blocking, runaway CPU, or bad plans, to find the actual cause fast. The goal is answers you can act on immediately, not broad recommendations. You'll get a written report with the root cause and specific fixes, typically within 1–2 days.
