An AI sales agent's Aselsan 4700 Series DMR radio quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a fleet of digital mobile radios: a 4700 Series handheld, mobile or desktop radio, its frequency and power, battery, options and a total. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the radio family and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed. Prices, discounts and approval thresholds on this page are illustrative and modeled, not Aselsan's.

Scope: Aselsan 4700 Series DMR radio quotes: the 4711, 4715, 4721, 4725 and 4735 radios with frequency band, power range, battery, GPS, encryption, data pack, channel setup and supply. See everything this validator covers

This validator models quotes for one product line, the Aselsan 4700 Series DMR radios (two handhelds, two mobiles and one desktop), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Radio, band and power — the 4711 and 4721 are VHF radios (136 to 174 MHz) and the 4715, 4725 and 4735 are UHF radios (380 to 470 MHz); transmit power must fall in the range published for the model (4711: 1 to 4 W, 4715: 1 to 5 W, 4721: 10 to 40 W, 4725: 10 to 30 W, 4735: 10 to 40 W).
  • Batteries, options and setup — handhelds need a battery (Ni-MH 1900 mAh or Li-Ion 2300 mAh) and mobiles and desktops take none; an external GPS goes with the mobile radios (the 4715 has GPS built in); digital (DMR) mode uses 12.5 kHz channels while analog also allows 25 kHz; each radio holds 1 to 256 channels; the mobile radios run from a 13.6 V supply (plus or minus 20 percent) and the desktop from 220 V mains (plus or minus 20 percent).
  • Quote and approvals — a line-item quote with a volume discount and a stated-total check; AES encryption and tender-size orders go to a person. These price and approval rules are modeled, as explained below.

Any 4700 Series radio quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other Aselsan radio families (such as the 9661 family), accessories other than those listed, antennas, chargers, programming and training services, spare parts, export licensing details, and any government tender terms. Modeled, not Aselsan's: Aselsan does not publish prices or ordering rules for these radios, so the unit prices, option prices, volume discount tiers (5 percent from 10 radios, 8 percent from 50) and the two approval thresholds (AES encryption, 200 or more radios) are illustrative and were modeled from comparable professional radio products. The product names, bands, power ranges, battery types, channel count, supply voltages and options follow Aselsan's public 4700 Series brochures.

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
Frequency and power limits that depend on the radio modelOnly with care
A range rule per model for band and for power. It works, but every new model is another pair of rules to keep in step with the brochures.		The band and power range come from the model chosen and are checked together with everything else.
Options that apply to some form factors onlyOnly with care
Batteries for handhelds only, an external GPS for mobiles only and a supply check by form factor each need their own rule.		Form factor, battery, GPS and supply are in one request and are checked together.
A digital mode that limits the channel widthOnly with workarounds
The width depends on a mode chosen on another line, so it needs a cross-field rule that interacts with the others.		Mode and channel width arrive together and the combination is checked on every call.
Stated totals that must equal the computed total after a volume discountOnly with care
A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with a computed total, but the total depends on model, options and a discount tier.		The stated total travels with the quote and is compared with the computed total on every call.
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 order has 0 radios; at least 1 is needed.
2A frequency of 150 MHz is outside the 380 to 470 MHz band of this radio model.
3A transmit power of 5 W is outside the 1 to 4 W range of this radio model.
4A handheld radio is ordered without a battery; a battery type is needed.
5A battery is ordered with a mobile or desktop radio; batteries apply to the handheld radios only.
6An external GPS is ordered with a handheld or desktop radio; it applies to the mobile radios, and the 4,715 handheld has GPS built in.
7Digital (DMR) mode uses 12.5 kHz channels; a 25 kHz channel is available in analog mode only.
8257 channels are programmed; the radio holds 1 to 256 channels.
9A vehicle supply of 10.87 V is outside the 10,880 to 16,0.32 V range around the 13.6 V supply of the mobile radios.
10A mains voltage of 265 V is outside the 176 to 264 V range around the 220 V input of the desktop radio.
11An order of 200 or more radios is a tender-size order; its pricing is confirmed by a person.
12AES encryption is an optional feature of the 4700 series radios; a person should confirm that it may be sold to this customer and destination.
13The quote states a total of $13,489.00; the modeled prices give $13,490.00.

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 fleet of digital mobile radios: a 4700 Series handheld, mobile or desktop radio, its frequency and power, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the radio family and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed. Prices, discounts and approval thresholds on this page are illustrative and modeled, not Aselsan's.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote 60 of the Aselsan 4715 UHF DMR Portable Radio with GPS, set to 150 MHz at 6 W. The quote states a total of $42,780.00. 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. A frequency of 150 MHz is outside the 380 to 470 MHz band of this radio model. A transmit power of 6 W is outside the 1 to 5 W range of this radio model. A handheld radio is ordered without a battery; a battery type is needed.
    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 frequency and power limits that depend on the radio model, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the frequency to 450 MHz.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. A transmit power of 6 W is outside the 1 to 5 W range of this radio model. A handheld radio is ordered without a battery; a battery type is needed.
    12. 
      
  12. One finding cleared. Still blocking: transmit power outside the radio range and handheld radio without a battery.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the transmit power to 5 W, the battery to High Capacity Li-Ion (2300 mAh) and the stated total to $45,650.40.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. The validator also returns the line-item quote. It starts with 4715 UHF DMR Portable Radio with GPS and Battery; the other line is on screen.
    18. 
      
  18. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, $45,650.40, matches the quote.
    19. 
      
  19. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean $45,650.40 quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    20.
