Predictika · Cybersecurity asset management and exposure management quotes
An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Axonius: Cybersecurity Asset Management licensed in packs of 500 assets, the Software Management and Cloud Compliance modules, Exposures, and SaaS Management, delivered on the Axonius-hosted service or customer-hosted, with Standard or Premium Support. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the packs and how they depend on each other and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.
This validator models Axonius quotes for the products below, not just the scenarios shown. The product names, the packs of 500 assets and 500 unique users, the 700-user SaaS Management pack, the 12-, 24- and 36-month terms, the Axonius-hosted and customer-hosted deployments and the Standard and Premium support levels come from public Axonius listings, with list prices for the asset, software, cloud compliance and SaaS packs taken from those listings; the Exposures and Premium Support prices and every ordering rule are illustrations set to be typical for a security software vendor.
Any Axonius quote that touches these products and rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: Axonius AI, professional services and training, partner or marketplace fees, other module bundles, taxes and negotiated discounts. Exposures and Premium Support prices, the Exposures and deployment rules and the approval thresholds are illustrative, not Axonius's.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Packs that must cover a count held elsewhere in the quote | Only with workarounds Asset packs of 500 have to be compared with the number of assets the company has, and user packs with the number of users; the quote has no field that carries those counts, so a rule needs helper fields a rep may leave empty. | The asset and user counts are fields of the quote and every pack quantity is compared with them on every call. |
| Modules that depend on the inventory and on connected adapters | Only with care Exposures needs a vulnerability scanner adapter and Cloud Compliance needs cloud accounts; product rules can require another product but not that something outside the order is connected. | The number of scanners and cloud accounts is a field of the quote and each prerequisite is checked on every call. |
| Support and hosting rules that depend on size | Only with care Customer-hosted deployments and estates over 10,000 assets need Premium Support, and SaaS Management needs the Axonius-hosted service; each is a separate cross-product rule that must be written and tested. | Deployment, support and asset count are checked together. |
| Exposures packs that must not exceed asset packs | Only with workarounds One product line is compared with the quantity of another, which a rep may change in one place and not the other. | Both quantities are fields of the same request and are compared on every call. |
| A stated total that must equal the list-price total | Only with workarounds The stated figure is free text; a rule can compare it with a computed total only after pack, module, support and term charges have been summed. | The total is computed and compared in the same pass as the other rules. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only 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. |
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 | The quote licenses 5 packs of 500 assets, which does not cover the 2,501 assets the company has. |
| 2 | The quote has no Axonius product with a quantity above zero. |
| 3 | The quote licenses 5 packs of 500 assets for 1,500 assets, at least 1,000 more than the company has; a person should confirm the growth allowance. |
| 4 | The quote covers 25,001 assets; estates over 25,000 assets need a person to confirm the deployment sizing. |
| 5 | Customer-hosted deployments and estates over 10,000 assets need Premium Support with a dedicated Technical Account Manager, and the quote has Standard Support. |
| 6 | The quote licenses 1 packs of 500 unique users for the Software Management Module, which does not cover the 1,000 users the company has. |
| 7 | The Software Management, Cloud Compliance and Exposures modules run on the asset inventory, and the quote has no Cybersecurity Asset Management packs. |
| 8 | The Cloud Compliance Module checks connected cloud accounts, and the quote has none. |
| 9 | The quote licenses 1 packs of 500 unique users for the Cloud Compliance Module, which does not cover the 1,000 users the company has. |
| 10 | Exposures takes its vulnerability data from adapters, and the quote has no vulnerability scanner adapter connected. |
| 11 | The quote has 6 Exposures packs for 5 asset packs; Exposures covers only assets that are in the inventory. |
| 12 | SaaS Management is sold in packs of 700 unique SaaS users, and 2 packs do not cover the 1,401 SaaS users the company has. |
| 13 | SaaS Management runs on the Axonius-hosted service, and the quote has a customer-hosted deployment. |
| 14 | The quote has a term of 4 years; listed terms run to 3 years, so a person should confirm price protection for a longer term. |
| 15 | The quote has a term of 0 years; the shortest term is 1 year. |
| 16 | The quote states a total of $148,724.99 for the term; the list prices give $148,725.00. |
