An AI sales agent's process orchestration platform quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Camunda 8: the Free Trial or Free plan, an Enterprise SaaS subscription with Basic, Standard or Advanced clusters, or a Self-Managed Production license. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the plans, cluster types, availability targets and plan rules Camunda publishes, and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.

Scope: Camunda 8 plan quotes: Free Trial, Free plan, Enterprise SaaS (Basic, Standard and Advanced clusters, sizes 1x to 4x, AWS PrivateLink, Camunda-managed encryption key) and Self-Managed Development and Production licenses. See everything this validator covers

This validator models quotes for Camunda 8 SaaS and Camunda 8 Self-Managed as described on the Camunda pricing page and the Camunda 8 documentation, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Plans — Camunda SaaS Free Trial (30 days, one Basic 1x cluster, never billed), the Free plan after the trial (collaborative BPMN and DMN modeling only, no execution), Enterprise (SaaS), Self-Managed Development (free, non-production) and Self-Managed Production (Enterprise license).
  • Enterprise SaaS clusters — Basic (non-production, 99% availability target), Standard (production-ready, 99.5%) and Advanced (production-ready, 99.9%), in sizes 1x to 4x; each size step uses one cluster reservation, and a size above 4x needs custom sizing and pricing from Camunda.
  • Plan rules — AWS PrivateLink secure connectivity only for AWS-hosted Enterprise (SaaS) clusters; a dedicated Camunda-managed encryption key only for Enterprise (SaaS) clusters on Google Cloud; production use only on Standard or Advanced clusters, on the Enterprise (SaaS) plan or on a Self-Managed Production license; custom regions agreed with Camunda; commercial or non-commercial Self-Managed licensing confirmed with Camunda.
  • Prices — Camunda does not publish prices: Enterprise is quoted by sales. The prices in this demonstration are illustrative assumptions typical of enterprise process-orchestration platforms, not Camunda list prices; the plan names, cluster types, sizes, availability targets and rules are from Camunda's public pages.

Any Camunda 8 plan quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: Camunda 7, support and training services beyond what the plans list, taxes, negotiated discounts, multi-year terms and usage-based metrics. Plans and rules are as read in October 2026 and may change.

The AI sales agentBuilds the Camunda 8 quote from the conversation 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
An availability target that depends on the cluster typeOnly with care
The requested target (99%, 99.5% or 99.9%) must be compared with the target of the chosen cluster type, so a rule has to join two fields on different lines of the quote and be kept in step with the documentation.		The cluster type, its target and the requested target are compared on every call.
Options that depend on the cloud providerOnly with workarounds
AWS PrivateLink needs an AWS cluster and the Camunda-managed key needs a Google Cloud cluster, so two options pull the same quote in opposite directions and each needs its own cross-line rule.		The provider and both options are in one request, and each is checked against the provider and the plan.
Options that exist only on SaaSOnly with care
PrivateLink and the managed key do not apply to a Self-Managed deployment, so a product rule per option and per deployment is easy to leave out.		The plan and every option are in one request and checked together.
A stated total that must equal the list-price totalOnly with workarounds
The stated figure is free text; a rule can compare it with a computed total only after reservations, add-ons and months have been summed.		The total is computed and compared in the same pass as the other rules.
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 quote has clusters of size 5x; Camunda cluster sizes go up to 4x and larger needs custom sizing and pricing from Camunda.
2A Basic cluster is for non-production use; production needs a Standard or Advanced cluster.
3The quote requires a higher availability target than the chosen cluster type offers (Basic 99%, Standard 99.5%, Advanced 99.9%).
4Secure connectivity (AWS PrivateLink) is available only for AWS-hosted clusters on an Enterprise (SaaS) plan.
5A dedicated Camunda-managed encryption key is offered to Enterprise (SaaS) customers on Google Cloud clusters only, not on AWS.
6The requested region is not on the list of supported AWS and Google Cloud regions; Camunda agrees custom regions with Enterprise customers case by case.
7The quote asks for a 31-day trial; the Camunda SaaS trial lasts 30 days.
8The Free Trial is for evaluation and is never billed; running production on Camunda SaaS needs an Enterprise (SaaS) plan.
9A Free Trial gives one Basic cluster of size 1x; the quote asks for something larger.
10The Free plan only allows collaborative BPMN and DMN modeling; it cannot execute processes and it has no clusters.
11The free Self-Managed Development license is for local development and non-production use; any production deployment needs the Enterprise (Self-Managed) license.
12Camunda offers commercial or non-commercial licensing for Self-Managed production and the terms are agreed with Camunda; a person should confirm.
13The quote states a 12-month total of $57,599.00; the list prices give $57,600.00.
14The quote states a 12-month total of $57,600.01; the list prices give $57,600.00.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Camunda 8: the Free Trial or Free plan, an Enterprise SaaS subscription with Basic, Standard or Advanced clusters, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the plans, cluster types, availability targets and plan rules Camunda publishes, and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote 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 Camunda 8 Self-Managed Production license for 2 production clusters for production, with AWS PrivateLink and a Camunda-managed encryption key. The quote states a 12-month total of $240,000.00. 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. Secure connectivity (AWS PrivateLink) is available only for AWS-hosted clusters on an Enterprise (SaaS) plan. A dedicated Camunda-managed encryption key is offered to Enterprise (SaaS) customers on Google Cloud clusters only, not on AWS. The quote states a 12-month total of $240,000.00; the list prices give $180,000.00.
    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 and against the stated total.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for a stated total that must equal the list-price total, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the stated 12-month total to $180,000.00. It removes the AWS PrivateLink and camunda-managed encryption key.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. The validator also returns the line-item quote, on screen.
    13. 
      
  13. All three earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, $180,000.00, matches the quote.
    14. 
      
  14. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean $180,000.00 quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
