An AI sales agent's Kestrel fleet order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a fleet order for 2027 Veloria Kestrel vehicles: trims, option packages, paint colors and the delivery zone. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the Kestrel trim, package and paint rules and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed. Veloria Motors and the Kestrel are fictional.

Scope: 2027 Veloria Kestrel fleet orders of up to three trim, package and color lines, with destination and delivery and a fleet-discount request. See everything this validator covers

This validator models 2027 Veloria Kestrel orders built on the trims, prices, option packages and paint rules of the fictional Kestrel price list, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Trims and prices — the six Kestrel trims (Core, Comfort, Dynamic, Prestige, Voyager, Backcountry) at their list prices, with the destination and delivery charge ($1,625 on the mainland, or $1,850 to the remote zone of Alaska and Hawaii) on every vehicle.
  • Option packages and paint — a package is offered on Comfort, Dynamic, Prestige and Backcountry but not on Core or Voyager; premium paint (Slate Dune Pearl, Harbor Dawn Pearl) adds $445 a vehicle.
  • Colors by trim — Glacier Teal only on Backcountry, and a Backcountry only in its six colors.
  • Stated order total and fleet discount — the total on the order must equal the computed total; a fleet-discount request is not on the price list and goes to a person for approval.

Any 2027 Kestrel fleet order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other vehicle lines and model years, dealer-installed accessories, taxes, registration and dealer fees, financing, and fleet incentive amounts. Totals are at list price and exclude taxes and fees.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong
Click to expand
    
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

    
What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
A multi-line order where each line has its own trim, package and colorOnly with workarounds
Rules usually run per line, so a total that must agree with every line, the delivery zone and a fleet discount needs cross-line rules that interact with each other.		Every line, the delivery zone and the total are checked at once, so changing a trim, a color or the zone changes every figure that depends on it.
Colors that depend on the trim, such as BackcountryOnly with care
A compatibility table of trims and colors. It works, but every added color or trim means editing the table, and a premium paint price rides on some of the colors.		Trim, color, paint charge and the order total are in one request and are checked together.
Stated order totals that must equal the published pricesOnly with care
A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with a computed total, but the total depends on trims, packages, paint and the destination charge that have to be kept in step with the price list.		The stated total travels with the order and is compared with the computed total on every call.
A simple restriction that depends on one fieldEasy
A product rule can switch an extra on or off for the trims that offer it.		The same rule is checked with the rest, on every line.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the quote is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

  

  

    
What this validator catches: findings from its test cases
Click to expand
    
Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1The Core line adds an option package, but the Core and Voyager trims have no option package.
2The Prestige line asks for Glacier Teal, which is only available on Backcountry models.
3The Backcountry line asks for a Backcountry in a color that is not among the six Backcountry colors (Alpine Frost Pearl, Basalt Gray Metallic, Glacier Teal, Juniper Green Metallic, Onyx Night Black, Slate Dune Pearl).
4The order has 0 vehicles; at least 1 is needed.
5The Comfort line has a negative quantity of -2 vehicles.
6The order states a total of $466,499; the Kestrel price list and delivery charges give $466,500.
7A fleet incentive or volume discount is not on the price list; a person should confirm it before the order is sent.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a fleet order for 2027 Veloria Kestrel vehicles: trims, option packages, paint colors and the delivery zone. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the Kestrel trim, package and paint rules and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed. Veloria Motors and the Kestrel are fictional.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote a fleet order of 2027 Veloria Kestrel vehicles for delivery to the remote zone (Alaska or Hawaii): 12 Core. The customer expects a fleet discount. The rest of the request is on screen. The quote states an order total of $1,066,650.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with four findings and one approval, all in one answer. The Core line adds an option package, but the Core and Voyager trims have no option package. The Backcountry line asks for a Backcountry in a color that is not among the six Backcountry colors (Alpine Frost Pearl, Basalt Gray Metallic, Glacier Teal, Juniper Green Metallic, Onyx Night Black, Slate Dune Pearl). The Prestige line asks for Glacier Teal, which is only available on Backcountry models. The other one is on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned four blocking findings and one approval in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other and against the stated total.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for a multi-line order where each line has its own trim, package and color, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the line 1 to 12 x Core, Alpine Frost Pearl, the line 2 to 8 x Backcountry, Glacier Teal, option package, the line 3 to 6 x Backcountry, Slate Dune Pearl, option package and the stated order total to $1,086,370. It removes the fleet discount requested.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. The validator also returns the line-item quote. It starts with 2027 Kestrel Core and 2027 Kestrel Backcountry; the other five lines are on screen.
    13. 
      
  13. All five earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, $1,086,370, matches the quote.
    14. 
      
  14. Five problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean $1,086,370 quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    15.
