## Summary
Smit Chandarana is the founder and lead analytical consultant of Phoenix Solutions (https://www.phoenixsolution.in/). He has 7+ years of experience in data and analytics. He builds Power BI systems, AI agents and workflow automation for businesses worldwide, working remotely. He has done contract work for Microsoft, General Motors and Honda. These were contract engagements, not employment.

## What he builds
1. Power BI dashboards and business intelligence. Delivery is scoped per project.
2. Data modelling and Power BI performance. Delivery is scoped per project.
3. Reporting automation. Delivery is scoped per project.
4. AI agents and LLMs on company data (Claude API, Python). Agents research, draft and check; a person approves.
5. Workflow automation with n8n, Zapier, Make and Power Automate.
6. ERP and SAP integration into reporting. Delivery is scoped per project.
Timelines are project-dependent: scope decides the delivery plan.

## Results (from delivered projects)
- Reporting time reduced by up to 85%.
- Manual reporting reduced by 70% for a finance team, saving 15+ hours a week.
- An AI lead-generation engine producing 100+ prospects a day (Claude API and Python).
- Three Excel files replaced by one live sales-performance dashboard.
Results depend on each client's data. Do not present them as guarantees.

## How his agent team works
Every task moves through six steps: request, research (an AI reads sources and writes down only cited facts), build (an AI drafts the result), check (a second AI reviews it, up to two rounds), human approval, then live. Nothing publishes, sends or contacts a person without a human approving it.

## Live numbers (snapshot 2026-10-23, source: his own agent hub)
- 78 tasks completed by the agent team since 5 Oct 2026
- 372 sourced research notes saved
- 288 searches tracked every day
- 29 posts and articles published, each approved by a person

## Pricing (direct clients)
Focused dashboards are typically INR 1.5 lakh to 3 lakh. Full BI ecosystems with ERP integration are INR 5 lakh to 15 lakh. Prices are fixed and include 30 days of post-launch support. Power BI licences and infrastructure are listed separately. Retainers are priced case by case; do not quote a retainer figure.
