An AI sales agent's SmartCONNECT SD-WAN quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a multi-site managed SD-WAN service: a Global or Regional bandwidth subscription, site licenses, bursting, elastic and inter-region options, high availability and last mile. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published service terms and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Aryaka SmartCONNECT quotes: Global or Regional bandwidth subscriptions, SmartManage site-license tiers, Bursting, Elastic and InterRegion multipliers, ANAP and POP high availability, Last Mile Service and site-change limits. See everything this validator covers

This validator models SmartCONNECT service quotes as described in the Aryaka Services Description and Terms (November 2025 edition, read October 5, 2026), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Subscription and sites — Global or Regional bandwidth subscription, the number of site licenses against the sites the customer needs (more sites than licenses need the Elastic-Multiplier), and the subscribed bandwidth in total.
  • Multipliers — the Bursting-Multiplier and the limit of 50 percent above the subscribed bandwidth per site, the Elastic-Multiplier, and the InterRegion-Multiplier that Regional sites need to exchange traffic with other regions.
  • Resilience and services — ANAP high availability (offered in the Small, Medium and Large tiers), POP high availability, Last Mile Service (sold separately on its own order form) and the limit of one site change per site per month.

Any SmartCONNECT quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Aryaka does not publish SmartCONNECT list prices, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), SASE and security services, the bandwidth limits of each site-license tier (the terms do not state them), terms and discounts, and partner pricing. Assumptions: the terms give the burst limit as 50 percent of the subscribed bandwidth with an upper limit of 100 Mbps per site, and this validator blocks above 50 percent and sends a burst more than 100 Mbps over the subscription to a person; the same tiers are assumed for POP high availability, so it goes to a person elsewhere; exceeding the subscribed bandwidth without the Bursting-Multiplier is treated as not allowed.

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
Regional subscriptions that need an InterRegion option for sites abroadOnly with workarounds
Whether a site is in the subscribed region depends on where each site sits, so a rule must compare per-site locations with the option on another line.		The count of sites outside the region and the option are checked together on every call.
More sites than licenses, unless elasticOnly with care
A rule comparing the sites the customer needs with the licenses quoted works, but the Elastic-Multiplier exception has to be kept in step.		Sites, licenses and the Elastic-Multiplier are compared in the same pass.
Burst limits that depend on the subscribed bandwidthOnly with care
A limit as a share of a value typed on another line can be written, but the Bursting-Multiplier, the 50 percent limit and the 100 Mbps wording each need their own rule.		Peak, subscription and the multiplier are checked together, and the uncertain reading goes to a person.
High availability only on some tiers, and Last Mile Service only on its own order formOnly with workarounds
The availability depends on the tier on one line and the option on another, and a separate order form is a process rule that a product rule cannot see.		Tier, options and services are in one request and every dependency is checked with the rest.
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.

    
13 sites are outside the subscribed region; on a Regional subscription they cannot exchange traffic with sites in other regions without the InterRegion-Multiplier.
2The customer needs 15 sites but the quote has 12 site licenses and no Elastic-Multiplier; without it the customer may not exceed the purchased number of site licenses.
3The quote has 0 site licenses at 50 Mbps; at least 1 site license and 1 Mbps of subscribed bandwidth are needed.
4The customer expects a peak of 60 Mbps on a subscription of 50 Mbps per site; exceeding the subscribed bandwidth needs the Bursting-Multiplier on the order form.
5The customer expects a peak of 76 Mbps on a subscription of 50 Mbps per site; bursting allows at most 50 percent above the subscribed bandwidth.
6The customer expects a peak of 150 Mbps on a subscription of 50 Mbps per site; bursting allows at most 50 percent above the subscribed bandwidth.
7The customer expects a peak of 420 Mbps on a subscription of 300 Mbps per site; the terms also state an upper limit of 100 Mbps per site for bursting, so a person should confirm how it applies.
8ANAP high availability is offered in the Small, Medium and Large tiers only; the quoted site-license tier is not one of them.
9POP high availability is quoted on a tier other than Small, Medium or Large; a person should confirm it is available there.
10Last Mile Service is always sold separately from all other SmartServices on its own signed Sales Order Form and cannot be on this quote.
11The customer asks for 2 changes per site in one month; site moves, bandwidth reallocation and add-on relocations are limited to one change per site per month.
12The quote states 550 Mbps of subscribed bandwidth in total; the site licenses quoted give 600 Mbps.
13The quote states 601 Mbps of subscribed bandwidth in total; the site licenses quoted give 600 Mbps.
14The customer needs 40 sites but the quote has 30 site licenses and no Elastic-Multiplier; without it the customer may not exceed the purchased number of site licenses.
156 sites are outside the subscribed region; on a Regional subscription they cannot exchange traffic with sites in other regions without the InterRegion-Multiplier.
16The customer expects a peak of 200 Mbps on a subscription of 100 Mbps per site; exceeding the subscribed bandwidth needs the Bursting-Multiplier on the order form.
17The customer expects a peak of 200 Mbps on a subscription of 100 Mbps per site; bursting allows at most 50 percent above the subscribed bandwidth.
18The customer asks for 3 changes per site in one month; site moves, bandwidth reallocation and add-on relocations are limited to one change per site per month.

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 multi-site managed SD-WAN service: a Global or Regional bandwidth subscription, site licenses, bursting, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published service terms 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 Aryaka SmartCONNECT on a Regional bandwidth subscription in Europe for 20 sites, with 20 site licenses in the Bring Your Own tier and 40 Mbps of subscribed bandwidth per site. 8 of the sites are outside the subscribed region. Include ANAP high availability and Last Mile Service. The rest of the request is on screen. The quote states 1,000 Mbps of subscribed bandwidth in total.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with four findings, all in one answer. 8 sites are outside the subscribed region; on a Regional subscription they cannot exchange traffic with sites in other regions without the InterRegion-Multiplier. ANAP high availability is offered in the Small, Medium and Large tiers only; the quoted site-license tier is not one of them. Last Mile Service is always sold separately from all other SmartServices on its own signed Sales Order Form and cannot be on this quote. The other one is on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned four 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 and against the stated total.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for high availability only on some tiers, and Last Mile Service only on its own order form, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the site-license tier to medium, the InterRegion-Multiplier to yes, the Last Mile Service on the quote to no and the stated total bandwidth to 800 Mbps.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All four earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    13. 
      
  13. Four 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.
