Predictika · Digital radiography room quotes

An AI sales agent's radiography room quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a ceiling-mounted digital radiography room: the Agfa DR 600 with a generator, an X-ray tube, one to three wireless detectors, a patient table or wall stand, optional devices, the site power and a service plan. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of how the room fits together and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Agfa DR 600 (DX-D 600) digital radiography rooms: generator and tube pairing, detectors, table and wall stand, options, mains power, service plan, discount and stated total. See everything this validator covers

This validator models a quote for the Agfa DR 600 ceiling-mounted radiography room, as described in public Agfa and FDA documents, not just the scenarios shown underneath.

  • Generator and tube — four generators from 32 to 80 kW and four Toshiba tubes, with each tube modeled to work only within a range of generator ratings, and the generator checked against the power the customer needs.
  • Detectors — the DR 14e and DR 17e wireless detectors in CsI or GOS, one to three per room, with the larger detector needed when the customer needs full-field imaging.
  • Positioning devices and options — a patient table or wall stand (at least one), the tilting bucky that belongs to the wall stand, the DAP meter that needs the automatic collimator, and motorised tracking that needs the tubehead display.
  • Site power — the supported three-phase mains voltages of 380, 400, 415, 440 and 480 V.
  • Service, discount and total — the service plan, a discount of up to 20 percent, the total a quote states against the total computed, and approvals for a discount over 10 percent, a reader from another maker and a room with no service plan.

Any DR 600 room quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other Agfa rooms and products, installation work, and real article numbers. The prices in this validator are illustrative values chosen for the demonstration, not Agfa prices, and the page shows no price table. The generator and tube pairing limits, the one to three detector limit, the option dependencies, the service plans and the approval thresholds are modeled from comparable rooms and are not published by Agfa.

The AI sales agentBuilds the radiography room quote from the conversation with the customer and says it is ready.

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 generator and tube that must fit togetherOnly with care
Each tube is allowed a range of generator ratings, so a validation rule needs a lookup of the range per tube and a comparison with the generator on another line.		The generator and the tube are fields of one request and are compared with the modeled range on every call.
Options that depend on other optionsOnly with care
The tilting bucky needs the wall stand, the DAP meter needs the collimator and tracking needs the display, so each dependency is its own rule, and a new option means a new rule.		Every option is a field of the request, so each dependency is checked together with all the others.
A detector size that depends on the imaging needOnly with care
The need for full-field imaging has to be read from one field and compared with the detector model on another line.		The imaging need and the detector model are in one request and checked together.
A stated total that must match the computed totalOnly with workarounds
The total is built from many parts, so a separate rule is needed to recompute it and compare it with the figure the rep typed.		The stated total is a field of the request and is compared with the computed total in the same pass.
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 80 kW generator is above the 64 kW this tube is modeled to support.
2The 50 kW generator is below the 64 kW this tube is modeled to need.
3The customer needs 64 kW; the quoted generator gives 50 kW.
4The room has neither a patient table nor a wall stand; at least one positioning device is needed.
5The quote has 4 detectors; this model allows 1 to 3.
6The customer needs full-field 43x43 cm imaging; the quoted DR 14e detector is 35x43 cm.
7A tilting bucky is part of the wall stand; the quote has no wall stand.
8The DAP meter is fitted in the automatic collimator; the quote has no automatic collimator.
9Motorised tracking in this model is operated from the tubehead display; the quote has none.
10The site mains voltage is not one of 380, 400, 415, 440 or 480 V.
11The generators need three-phase mains; the site has single-phase.
12The quote states a total of 21,080,000 cents; the illustrative prices give 21,180,000 cents.
13The discount is above 10 percent of the subtotal; a sales manager should approve it.
14The discount of 4,336,000 cents is above 20 percent of the 21,180,000 cent subtotal.
15The customer wants to connect a computed radiography reader from another maker; a person should confirm compatibility.
16The quote has no service plan for the installed room; a person should confirm that is intended.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a ceiling-mounted digital radiography room: the Agfa DR 600 with a generator, an X-ray tube, one to three wireless detectors, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of how the room fits together and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote a DR 600 room with an 80 kW generator and the E7254X tube, 4 DR 17e CsI detectors. The site has three-phase mains at 400 V and the customer needs 80 kW. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. The 80 kW generator is above the 64 kW this tube is modeled to support. The quote has 4 detectors; this model allows 1 to 3. A tilting bucky is part of the wall stand; the quote has no wall stand.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned three blocking findings 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.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for a generator and tube that must fit together, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the tube to E7884X, the detectors to 3 and the wall stand to yes.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All three earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    14.
