Predictika · Dental equipment orders
An AI sales agent prepares an order for dental delivery systems: the type, how it mounts, the style, the user interface, the control block, handpiece holders, ancillary accommodations, foot control and options, and the number of ancillary accommodations it says the system supports. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the configuration rules A-dec publishes and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
This validator models orders for A-dec 300 Pro and 500 Pro delivery systems, based on the public A-dec delivery systems comparison table and product pages, not just the scenarios shown below.
Any order for these delivery systems that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (A-dec publishes none; it directs buyers to a Territory Manager or dealer, so this page shows no price build-up), dental chairs, Inspire cabinets and other equipment as products in their own right, handpieces and integrations, the 400 and older series, and A-dec's own older-chair compatibility matrix, which is why an older chair goes to a person.

What this means
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 caught | Typical rules-based CPQ | Predictika |
|---|---|---|
| Which mount each of the seven delivery system types takes | Only with workarounds Each type mounts to different chairs, cabinets or a wall, and one type takes older chairs only after a matrix check. A rules-based CPQ needs a compatibility table or one rule per type, and every catalog change means editing them. | Type and mount arrive in one request and are matched to the published combinations on every call; an older chair goes to a person. |
| Options that exist only on some types (Continental style, saliva ejector, quick disconnect, 120 VAC outlet, conversion) | Only with care Each option is allowed on a different subset of types, and the saliva ejector also depends on the arm choice, so rules have to be written and kept in step for every option. | Every option is checked against the type on every call, in any order the choices arrive. |
| Limits that differ between the 500 Pro and 300 Pro (holders, ancillaries, control block, interface) | Only with care The same fields have different maximums by line, so a single quantity rule is not enough; the rule has to look up the line first. | The limits are derived from the type and compared with the order on every call. |
| The ancillary figure the order states | Only with care The stated number is derived from the chosen type, so a rule has to recompute it and compare. | The stated figure is a field in the request, compared with the computed one on every call. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only with workarounds Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a person often fixes one error and meets the next. | All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in. |
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.
| 1 | This delivery system is not offered with that mount; the 500 Pro Radius mounts to the 511 chair, the 300 Pro Radius to the 311, 411 or 511 chair, the Support center to the 362 support center, the Side to an Inspire cabinet or a wall, the duo models to an Inspire cabinet or standalone, and the Cart is standalone. |
| 2 | The Continental style is offered only on the 500 Pro Radius, the 300 Pro Radius and the 300 Pro Support center. |
| 3 | The 500 Pro uses the DS7 touchscreen only; the 300 Pro uses the DS5 touchscreen, the CP5 or CP5i control pad, or no interface. |
| 4 | The control block has 3 positions; the 500 Pro has a 4-position block and the 300 Pro a 3- or 4-position block. |
| 5 | The quote asks for 5 handpiece holders; this delivery system has at most 4 plus a syringe holder. |
| 6 | The quote asks for 4 ancillary accommodations; this delivery system supports at most 3. |
| 7 | The quote states up to 5 ancillary accommodations; this delivery system supports up to 3. |
| 8 | Left/right conversion is not available on the 300 Pro Support center or Side; those units are dedicated to left-handed or right-handed use. |
| 9 | The air and water quick disconnect is optional only on the duo models and the 300 Pro Cart. |
| 10 | The 120 VAC duplex outlet is optional only on the 300 Pro Cart. |
| 11 | The 500 Pro offers the wet/dry disc with chip blower or the lever foot control, and the 300 Pro Cart offers the wet/dry disc only. |
| 12 | On the 300 Pro, software updates need the DS5 touchscreen or the A-dec+ Gateway, and the quote has neither. |
| 13 | The integrated saliva ejector is optional only on the 300 Pro Radius with the manual height adjustment arm. |
| 14 | The manual height adjustment arm is a choice only on the 300 Pro Radius; the duo models and the Cart have manual height adjustment built in, and the other types use a flexarm. |
| 15 | The 300 Pro Radius Continental style comes only with the balanced flexarm with air brake; the manual height adjustment arm is Traditional only. |
| 16 | The 300 Pro Radius is quoted for an older A-dec chair; a person should confirm that chair in the A-dec compatibility matrix. |
| 17 | The quote has 0 delivery systems; it needs at least 1. |
