Predictika · Commercial TV service quotes

An AI sales agent's commercial TV service quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a commercial TV service quote for a venue: venue type, package, fire code occupancy or room count, TVs and receivers, delivery, installation, agreement term and fee waiver. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the package and sizing rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the sizing figures it computed.

Scope: commercial TV service quotes for bars and restaurants, offices and retail, healthcare and senior living, and hotels: package by venue, occupancy or rooms, equipment, installation and agreement term. See everything this validator covers

This validator models commercial TV service quotes sized by venue occupancy or room count — not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Venue and package — which of the business packages (Business Select, Commercial Entertainment, Commercial Xtra) and the hotel and healthcare packages (Family, Commercial Select) can be quoted for which venue type.
  • Sizing — bars, restaurants, offices and retail are sized by fire code occupancy tier (limit on TVs); hotels and healthcare by room count, with a minimum number of rooms.
  • Equipment — every TV and every room needs its own receiver.
  • Delivery and add-ons — satellite or streaming delivery by venue type, and the business sports add-on, which is for bars and restaurants.
  • Installation and fee waiver — standard or custom installation, and how long the TV access fee can be waived before approval is needed.
  • Agreement term — the minimum term for each venue type, and the sizing figures the quote itself states.

Any commercial TV service quote for these venue types that touches package eligibility, sizing, equipment, delivery, installation, fee waivers or term is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (a full commercial rate card is not public, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), other venue types such as aviation and marine, and any vendor CPQ platform. Assumptions: the occupancy bands, TV limits, room minimums, delivery limits, hotel and healthcare package eligibility and approval limits are invented illustrative values.

The AI sales agentBuilds the commercial TV service 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
A package that is not offered for the venue type, such as a hotel-only package on a barOnly with care
Package eligibility by venue is a product rule per package and venue pair. It works, but each new package or venue type adds rules to keep in step.		Eligibility comes from the package record for each venue type, so a new package is a new row, not a new rule.
Sizing by fire code occupancy tier: TV limits per tier, and an occupancy just under a tier limitOnly with workarounds
Tier bands and limits are usually encoded as separate rules or lookup tables, and a near-boundary warning needs its own rule.		The tier, its TV limit and the near-limit approval are computed from the occupancy on every call.
A quote that states a tier, TV limit or device count different from the computed oneOnly with care
A validation rule can compare a stated figure with the computed one, but only if the stated figure is a field on the quote, which it rarely is.		The stated figures travel with the quote and are compared with the computed ones on every call.
Equipment, delivery, add-on and minimum-room rules that depend on venue typeOnly with care
Each pair is its own validation rule. They work one at a time but multiply as venue types are added.		Venue type drives the limits from one record, and all of them are checked together.
Every problem returned in one answer, including approvals such as custom installation or a long fee waiverOnly 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, blocks first, then approvals, 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.

    
1A 12 month agreement is below the 24 month minimum for a bar or restaurant venue.
224 TVs is above the 20 TVs allowed for fire code occupancy tier 3.
3The quote states a limit of 24 TVs, but the occupancy tier allows 20.
4The Business Select Pack is not offered to a hotel venue.
5Streaming delivery is not available for a hotel venue; it needs satellite delivery.
6100 receivers cannot cover the 120 TVs and rooms; every TV needs its own receiver.
7The business sports add-on is only available for a bar or restaurant, not a hotel venue.
819 rooms is below the 20 room minimum for a hotel venue.
9A bar or restaurant venue needs its fire code occupancy; none was given.
10The quote states fire code occupancy tier 2, but the occupancy gives tier 3.
11The quote states 8 devices needed, but the TVs and rooms need 10.
12A TV access fee waiver of 30 months is above the 24 months that anyone can approve.
13A TV access fee waiver of 18 months is above the 12 months a sales rep can give; it needs sales management approval.
14A custom installation needs a site survey and operations approval.
15An occupancy of 50 is within 10 percent of the 50 limit of its tier; confirm the occupancy certificate with the customer.
16500 rooms is a large property; it needs a hospitality account review.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a commercial TV service quote for a venue: venue type, package, fire code occupancy or room count, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the package and sizing rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the sizing figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote the Commercial Entertainment Pack for a bar or restaurant: 24 TVs for a venue. The quote states fire code occupancy tier 3, a limit of 24 TVs and 24 devices needed. 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. A 12 month agreement is below the 24 month minimum for a bar or restaurant venue. 24 TVs is above the 20 TVs allowed for fire code occupancy tier 3. The quote states a limit of 24 TVs, but the occupancy tier allows 20.
    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 sizing by fire code occupancy tier: TV limits per tier, and an occupancy just under a tier limit, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the TVs to 20, the receivers to 20, the agreement term to 24 months, the Stated TV limit to 20 and the stated devices needed to 20.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All three earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    13. 
      
  13. Three 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.
