Predictika · Data platform subscription quotes

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

An AI sales agent prepares a credit-based subscription quote for a data and analytics platform: a yearly credit commitment, connectors, add-on capabilities, a marketplace, a support level, a term and a discount. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the platform and returns a verdict, every reason and the estimated total it computed.

Scope: Domo credit-based platform subscriptions: connectors, Cloud Amplifier, Magic ETL, App Studio, Domo Everywhere, Domo AI agents, Workflows, SSO, AWS PrivateLink, a HIPAA-compliant environment, marketplace purchase and support. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Domo platform subscription quotes, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Credits, connectors and term — a yearly credit commitment of at least 10 thousand credits, up to 200 connectors, and terms of 1 to 5 years.
  • Capabilities and dependencies — Cloud Amplifier (50 thousand credits and up), Magic ETL, App Studio, Domo Everywhere (needs App Studio), Domo AI agents (need Workflows) and Workflows.
  • Security and purchase — single sign-on, AWS PrivateLink (direct or AWS Marketplace purchases only), the HIPAA-compliant environment (needs Premium support and single sign-on), and purchase direct or through the AWS, Azure, Google, Snowflake or Databricks marketplaces.
  • Discounts and approvals — discounts of 0 to 40 percent, with approval above 25 percent, for commitments of 1,000 thousand credits and up, for one-year terms with large discounts, and for marketplace purchases with large discounts.

Any Domo platform quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: services, training, and other Domo pricing programs. The estimated total is shown only on clean quotes, in units of one ten-thousandth of a dollar.

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
Capabilities that depend on other capabilitiesOnly with care
AI agents need Workflows, Domo Everywhere needs App Studio and Cloud Amplifier needs a larger commitment, so each dependency is a separate rule that has to be kept in step with the catalog.
Every capability and the credit commitment are fields of one request and are checked together on every call.
Security and compliance bundlesOnly with care
The HIPAA environment needs Premium support and single sign-on, and PrivateLink is allowed for two purchase routes only, so the rules reach across options that look unrelated.
The options, the support level and the marketplace are in one request and compared on every call.
Discount thresholds that depend on term and marketplaceOnly with care
Approval depends on the discount together with the term, the marketplace and the commitment, so the thresholds are several rules that all have to agree.
The discount, the term, the marketplace and the commitment are in one request and compared on every call.
Limits and totals computed from many linesOnly with workarounds
Connector overage, add-ons, the support uplift, the discount and the term all feed the total, so a separate calculation is needed before any limit or stated figure can be checked.
The total is computed from the whole request on every call.
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

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.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a credit-based subscription quote for a data and analytics platform: a yearly credit commitment, connectors, add-on capabilities, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the platform and returns a verdict, every reason and the estimated total it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote a Domo platform subscription with 30 thousand credits a year and 40 connectors, for 3 years, with a discount of 10 percent. It is ready to send. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with six findings, all in one answer. Cloud Amplifier needs a commitment of at least 50 thousand credits; the quote has 30. Domo AI agents need Workflows on the quote. Embedded analytics through Domo Everywhere needs App Studio on the quote. The other three are on screen.
  6. The validator returned six 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. What this shows: for capabilities that depend on other capabilities, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the thousand credits per year to 60, the purchase to AWS Marketplace, the support to premium and the capabilities to Magic ETL, App Studio, Workflows, Cloud Amplifier, Domo AI agents, Domo Everywhere, single sign-on, AWS PrivateLink, a HIPAA-compliant environment.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. All six earlier findings are cleared.
  13. Six 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.
