### Transforming Raw Installment Data into Credit Risk Intelligence
## 🎯 Business Context: The PAYGO Challenge
In the Kenyan renewable energy sector, managing 12-month installment plans is a high-stakes balancing act between market expansion and **Credit Risk Management**. This project bridges the gap between raw daily transactions and executive-level strategic decision-making.
## 🧠 Strategic Insights & Solved Problems
This dashboard is engineered to solve 3 critical business bottlenecks:
### 1. Executive Overview: Profitability vs. OPEX
* **The Problem:** Scaling sales often masks rising operational costs, leading to "growth without profit."
* **The Solution:** A high-level view of **Net Margin** and **Revenue Trends** that ensures every solar unit sold contributes to the bottom line.
### 2. Geographic Intelligence: Regional Collection Risk
* **The Problem:** Payment behavior varies significantly across Kenya's 47 counties; a "one-size-fits-all" collection strategy fails.
* **The Solution:** Visualizing **Collection Rates by County** allows management to deploy field agents to high-risk areas while identifying the most stable regions for expansion.
### 3. Operational Performance: The 12-Month Lifecycle
* **The Problem:** Customer "Churn" or default typically peaks at months 3-5.
* **The Solution:** An **Ownership Progress Tracker** that monitors the health of each contract, allowing for early intervention before a customer becomes a "Write-off."
## 🧪 Technical Deep-Dive (The "Engine")
* **Relational Data Modeling:** Built on a professional **Star Schema** architecture to ensure lightning-fast performance even with high transaction volumes.
* **Advanced DAX Metrics:**
* `Collection Efficiency %`: Real-time tracking of (Actual Payments / Expected Installments).
* `Portfolio at Risk (PAR)`: Identifying delinquent accounts based on 30/60/90 day buckets.
* **VBA UI Customization:** Implemented an "App-like" experien …
