An AI sales agent's SR22 or SR22T quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a new piston aircraft: the model, the package, the options, the aircraft weight and the total price it states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published 2026 price lists and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Cirrus SR22 and SR22T, 2026 model year, North America: GTS packages, individual packages, options, aircraft weight and the total price in US dollars. See everything this validator covers

This validator models quotes for the Cirrus SR22 and the Cirrus SR22T, one aircraft at a time, from Cirrus's own 2026 North America price lists, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Price build-up — the published base price of each model, the GTS and GTS without Ice Protection packages, the individual packages (Cirrus Executive, Cirrus Awareness, Cirrus Advantage, Certified Flight into Known Ice, Premium Appearance) and the published options (Air Conditioning, Cirrus Global Connect, 4-Blade Composite Propeller, Built-In Oxygen System on the SR22, Tanis Pre-Heater, 4th and 5th Year Warranty, 5-Day Instructor Package). The total the quote states is compared with the computed total.
  • What is already included — the GTS package already combines the five individual packages; GTS without Ice Protection already includes Air Conditioning; the SR22T already has the built-in oxygen system as standard.
  • Premium Appearance — the Carbon and Platinum exterior designs and the Alcantara or all-leather premium interior belong to that package, which the GTS package includes.
  • Aircraft weight — the published base weight plus the published weight change of each selected item; the weight the quote states is compared with the computed weight, and the useful load against the 3,600 pound maximum gross weight is returned.

Any SR22 or SR22T quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: the SR20, the Vision Jet, international price lists, individual paint colors and interior colors, the 3-day transition training line, freight, taxes, trade-ins and finance. Assumptions: the prices are Cirrus's published list prices for the 2026 North America price lists and the purchase agreement governs the actual price; Premium Appearance has no published weight change and is counted as zero; GTS without Ice Protection is modeled only for what the price list states (it includes Air Conditioning).

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
A package that already contains other packagesOnly with care
A bundle product has to exclude each of its component packages and keep that list current as packages change.		The GTS contents are one rule; adding a component on top of GTS is reported with the other findings.
Equipment that is an option on one model and standard on another (oxygen)Only with care
Per-model option rules; each model and each option adds rules to maintain.		Model and option are in one request, and the standard-equipment case is reported with the other findings.
Paint design and interior finish tied to a packageOnly with workarounds
Option dependencies on a package that a second bundle (GTS) also contains need rules for both routes.		The design and finish check accepts Premium Appearance or GTS and reports the miss in the same answer.
A stated aircraft weight that must match the published base weight plus every changeOnly with workarounds
Weight is not a price field; it needs its own roll-up fields and a comparison built and kept in step with the price list.		The weight is summed on every call and compared with the stated weight.
A stated total that must match the price listOnly with care
The stated total is free text or a manual field; a comparison has to be built and kept current.		The stated total travels with the quote and is compared with the computed total.

  

  

    
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 SR22T already has the built-in oxygen system as standard equipment; it is not an extra-cost option on this model.
2The GTS package already combines Cirrus Executive, Cirrus Awareness, Cirrus Advantage, Certified Flight into Known Ice and Premium Appearance; they are not added again on their own.
3GTS without Ice Protection already includes Air Conditioning; it is not added again.
4The Carbon and Platinum exterior designs belong to the Premium Appearance package; the quote has neither Premium Appearance nor the GTS package.
5The premium leather interior with Alcantara inserts or all-leather finish belongs to the Premium Appearance package; the quote has neither Premium Appearance nor the GTS package.
6The quote states a total of $937,900; the published prices give $972,800.
7The quote states an aircraft weight of 2,441 pounds; the published base weight plus the weight changes of the selected equipment gives 2,449 pounds.

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 new piston aircraft: the model, the package, the options, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published 2026 price lists 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 a new Cirrus SR22T. Include Cirrus Global Connect, the Built-In Oxygen System and the Tanis Avionics and Engine Pre-Heater. The rest of the request is on screen. The quote states a total of $1,103,600 and an aircraft weight of 2,390 pounds.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. The SR22T already has the built-in oxygen system as standard equipment; it is not an extra-cost option on this model. The Carbon and Platinum exterior designs belong to the Premium Appearance package; the quote has neither Premium Appearance nor the GTS package. The premium leather interior with alcantara inserts or all-leather finish belongs to the Premium Appearance package; the quote has neither Premium Appearance nor the GTS package.
    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 paint design and interior finish tied to a package, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the Premium Appearance to yes, the Built-In Oxygen to no, the stated total as to $1,129,600 and the stated weight as to 2,372 pounds.
    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. It starts with Cirrus SR22T aircraft and Premium Appearance (two-tone paint; the other two lines are on screen.
    13. 
      
  13. All three earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, $1,129,600, matches the quote.
    14. 
      
  14. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean $1,129,600 quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
