Predictika · New-yacht orders

An AI sales agent's new-yacht order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a new Azimut yacht: the model, the guests and crew, the range and cruising speed the owner needs, the marina's draft limit and berth, the options, the warranty, the discount and the range and net price the order states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of how those choices fit together and returns a verdict, every reason and the range, speed and prices it computed.

Scope: One new-yacht order: model, guests and crew, required range and speed, marina draft and berth, options, warranty, discount and the stated range and net price. See everything this validator covers

This validator models new-yacht orders, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Model fit — guests and crew against the guest and crew berths of the model, a professional crew for large yachts, and the range and cruising speed the owner needs against what the model delivers, with a warning when the range margin is thin.
  • Marina and passage — the draft, length (with the swim platform extension) and beam of the yacht against the marina limits and berth, and an ocean crossing, which needs a CE design category A model and a delivery plan.
  • Options — the gyro stabilizer, larger generator and hydraulic swim platform, which are not offered on every model, and a tender that needs the platform and must not outweigh what it carries.
  • Commercial terms — warranty of 1 to 3 years, a discount of 0 to 8 percent (above 4 percent goes to the sales director), charter use, an order of 10 million euros or more, and the stated range and net price against those computed.

Any Azimut new-yacht order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: custom builds, used yachts, delivery logistics, taxes and financing. Model names, dimensions, berths, speeds and fuel capacities follow the Azimut model pages where public; the other ranges, option rules, thresholds and all prices are modeled from comparable yachts and are illustrative, not published by Azimut.

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
Options that exist only on some modelsOnly with care
The gyro stabilizer, larger generator and swim platform are offered on some models and not others, so each option needs its own rule against the model, and a new model means new rules.		The model is one choice and every option is checked against it in the same pass.
Limits that depend on the modelOnly with care
Berths, crew berths, range, speed, draft, beam and tender capacity differ for every model, and the swim platform lengthens the yacht, so the length, the platform and the berth enter one calculation.		Each limit is looked up for the chosen model and checked together on every call.
A passage that needs a certain design categoryOnly with workarounds
An ocean crossing needs CE design category A, which only some models have, and it also needs a delivery plan from the technical office.		The area is checked against the category of the model, and the approval is listed with the block.
A stated range that must match the computed oneOnly with workarounds
The range comes from the model, so a separate rule has to look it up and compare it with the range the order states.		The range is computed inside the model and compared with the stated one.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, so the agent can fix them in a single pass.

  

  

    
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 order; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
19 guests are planned; this model has 8 guest berths.
23 crew are planned; this model has 2 crew berths.
3A yacht of 2,678 cm overall needs at least 2 crew; the order has 1.
4The required range is 500 nm; this model runs 451 nm at slow cruise.
5The required range of 430 nm leaves less than a 10 percent margin on the 451 nm the yacht runs.
6The required cruising speed is 28 knots; this model cruises at up to 26 knots.
7The yacht draws 182 cm; the marina allows 170 cm.
8The yacht with its options is 2,269 cm long; the berth is 2,200 cm.
9The yacht is 562 cm wide; the berth is 540 cm wide.
10An ocean crossing needs CE design category A; this model is not rated category A.
11An ocean crossing needs a delivery plan and crew certification confirmed by the technical office.
12The gyro stabilizer is not available on the Atlantis 45 or the Verve models.
13The larger generator is not available on the Verve models.
14The hydraulic swim platform is not available on the Verve models.
15A tender of 500 kg is ordered but the hydraulic swim platform is not.
16The tender weighs 900 kg; the platform on this model carries 650 kg.
17A warranty of 4 years is not available; it is 1 to 3 years.
18A warranty of 3 years needs the service director to confirm the extended cover.
19A discount of 6 percent is above the 4 percent a dealer can give; the sales director should approve it.
20The discount of 10 percent is outside the 0 to 8 percent range.
21Charter use needs the flag and survey requirements confirmed by the compliance office.
22The net price of 1,150,000,000 euro cents is at or over 10,000,000 euros; finance should review the order.
23The order states a range of 520 nm; this model runs 451 nm.
24The order states a net price of 400,000,000 euro cents; the illustrative prices give 410,000,000 euro cents.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for a new Azimut yacht: the model, the guests and crew, the range and cruising speed the owner needs, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of how those choices fit together and returns a verdict, every reason and the range, speed and prices it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote an Azimut Fly 62 for 7 guests and 3 crew, for ocean passages. The owner needs a range of 410 nm at 25 knots. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with ten findings and three approvals, all in one answer. 7 guests are planned; this model has 6 guest berths. 3 crew are planned; this model has 2 crew berths. The required range is 410 nm; this model runs 400 nm at slow cruise. The other seven are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned ten blocking findings and three approvals 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 order are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for a passage that needs a certain design category, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the guests to 6, the crew to 2, the required range to 360 nm, the required cruising speed to 23 knots and the range stated on the order to 400 nm. Three more changes are on screen.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with two findings and three approvals, all in one answer. An ocean crossing needs CE design category A; this model is not rated category A. The tender weighs 600 kg; the platform on this model carries 450 kg.
    12. 
      
  12. Eight findings cleared. Still blocking: ocean crossing needs design category A and tender heavier than the platform can carry. Three approvals also remain for a person: discount above 4 percent, ocean crossing needs a delivery plan and three-year warranty.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the area to offshore, the tender weight to 400 kg, the warranty to 2 years and the discount to 4 percent.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. All five earlier findings are cleared.
    18. 
      
  18. Thirteen problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean order. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    19.
