Predictika · Commercial and industrial lighting: wall pack catalog-number configuration

An AI sales agent's LED wall pack configuration, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a wall pack order: the voltage, the optic and its wattage, the color temperature, the controls, the photocell, the motion sensor, the battery backup and the mounting function. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the ordering rules on the published spec sheet and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Evolve EWLS wall pack configurations: voltage, optic code and wattage, color temperature, dimming leads, Button PE, motion sensor, emergency battery backup and mount function. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders of one luminaire, the Evolve EWLS Gen 2 LED wall pack from Current Lighting Solutions, from the ordering information and notes on its public spec sheet, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Optic and wattage — optic codes 17, 25, 40 and 70 with the wattages the spec sheet lists (12, 17, 27 and 52 W at 120-277V; 14, 19, 29 and 54 W at 347V). Optic code 17 is not offered at 120-277V. The wattage stated on the quote is compared with the wattage the optic and voltage give.
  • Controls and options — the Button PE needs a single voltage and is not available with the emergency battery backup or the motion sensor; the motion sensor needs the no-external-dimming-leads option and is not available at 347V; the emergency battery backup is not available at 347V or with the motion sensor.
  • Function and color temperature — the conduit box mount must be selected with the Button PE, motion sensor, 347V or emergency battery backup; IDA approved units need 2700K or 3000K.

Any configuration of this wall pack is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (no public price list was found, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), lumen output, BUG ratings, colors, the L-Series mounting choice, other Evolve and Current luminaires, accessories, service and regional terms.

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
Option combinations from the ordering notesOnly with workarounds
Each note on a spec sheet (not with this, not at that voltage) becomes its own product rule, and the number of pairs grows quickly as options are added.		All options travel in one request; every pair is checked on every call, whichever order the choices arrive in.
A mount that depends on other optionsOnly with care
The conduit box mount is required if any of four other options is chosen, so the rule must look across four fields and be kept in step as options change.		The function is checked against the photocell, motion sensor, voltage and battery backup together.
Wattage that depends on optic and voltageOnly with care
The wattage table has one column for 120-277V and another for 347V, so the figure depends on two choices at once.		The wattage is computed from the optic and the voltage and compared with the wattage the quote states.
Stated wattage that must match the configurationOnly with care
A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with the computed figure, but someone has to write and maintain that comparison.		The stated wattage travels with the order and is compared with the computed wattage on every call.
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, whatever order the choices arrived in.

  

  

    
What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

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.

    
1Optic code 17 is not offered at 120-277V; use 120-240V.
2The Button PE option needs a single voltage; 120-277V and 120-240V are voltage ranges.
3The conduit box mount must be selected when ordering with the Button PE, motion sensor, 347V or emergency battery backup options; the flush mount is selected.
4The Button PE option is not available with the emergency battery backup.
5The Button PE option is not available with the motion sensor.
6The motion sensor needs the no-external-dimming-leads option; external dimming leads are not available with the motion sensor.
7The motion sensor is not available at 347V.
8The emergency battery backup is not available at 347V.
9The emergency battery backup is not available with the motion sensor.
10IDA approved units need a 2700K or 3000K color temperature; the quote has 5000 K.
11IDA approved units need a 2700K or 3000K color temperature; the quote has 4000 K.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a wall pack order: the voltage, the optic and its wattage, the color temperature, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the ordering rules on the published spec sheet 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 an Evolve EWLS Gen 2 LED wall pack at 120-277V, optic code 17, 3000K, with no external dimming leads. The quote states a wattage of 17 W. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with five findings, all in one answer. Optic code 17 is not offered at 120-277V; use 120-240V. The Button PE option needs a single voltage; 120-277V and 120-240V are voltage ranges. The conduit box mount must be selected when ordering with the Button PE, motion sensor, 347V or emergency battery backup options; the flush mount is selected. The other two are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned five 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 wattage that depends on optic and voltage, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the voltage to 240V, the emergency battery backup to no, the function to conduit box mount and the stated wattage to 12 W.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All five earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    13. 
      
  13. Five problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
