An AI sales agent's battery system program quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a per-vehicle e-mobility content program quote for a vehicle maker: the high-voltage battery system, control box, charging connector, wiring harness and related modules, with a yearly volume, a program length and a discount. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the product line and returns a verdict, every reason and the annual value it computed.

Scope: HV battery systems from 48 volt to 800 volt, HV control box, fast charging connector, High Performance Terminal, 48 volt module, Multilayer, wiring harness and aluminium lugs, quoted per vehicle for a multi-year program. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Draexlmaier-style e-mobility content program quotes, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Vehicle and voltage — battery electric, plug-in hybrid and mild hybrid vehicles with the 48, 400 and 800 volt classes, and which combinations are offered.
  • Battery system — capacity limits per vehicle type, the 48 volt size limit, cell format, air or liquid cooling, and the control box every high-voltage battery needs.
  • Charging and wiring parts — the Fast Charging Connector dFCC with the High Performance Terminal dHPT+19, the dFuseSmart 48 Volt module, Multilayer power distribution, the wiring harness and friction-welded aluminium cable lugs, and which of them depend on each other.
  • Program and value — volume, program length, discounts and approvals, and the stated annual value against the value computed from the modeled prices.

Any e-mobility program quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: interior products, tooling, specific vehicle platforms and taxes. All prices are illustrative.

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
Parts that need each otherOnly with care
The dFCC needs the dHPT+19 beside it, lugs need the harness, and every high-voltage battery needs the control box, so each dependency needs its own rule that follows the product list.		The chosen parts and the voltage class are fields of one request and are checked together on every call.
Limits that depend on the vehicle typeOnly with care
Capacity limits differ for battery electric, plug-in and mild hybrid vehicles, and the 48 volt class fits only a mild hybrid, so several rules have to agree.		The vehicle type, voltage class and capacity are in one request and compared on every call.
Cooling and cell choicesOnly with care
Air cooling depends on both the capacity and the voltage class, and round cells at 800 volt need a review instead of a stop, so the rules have different outcomes.		Cooling, cell format, capacity and voltage class are fields of the request and are checked together.
A stated annual value that must match the computed oneOnly with workarounds
The value is built from the parts, the capacity, the volume and the discounts, so a separate rule has to recompute it and compare it with the stated figure.		The stated annual value is a field of the request and is compared with the computed value 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
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 no product; add at least a battery system, control box, charging connector, 48 volt module, Multilayer or wiring harness.
2The 48 volt class fits only a mild hybrid (MHEV), and a mild hybrid only the 48 volt class.
3A battery electric vehicle battery of 1 kWh is below the 40 kWh minimum.
4The 800 volt class is quoted for battery electric vehicles only, not plug-in hybrids.
5A plug-in hybrid battery of 31 kWh is above the 30 kWh limit.
6A battery electric vehicle battery of 39 kWh is below the 40 kWh minimum.
7A battery of 131 kWh is above the 130 kWh limit.
8A 48 volt battery of 3 kWh is above the 2 kWh limit.
9The 48 volt battery is quoted with pouch or round cells, not prismatic.
10Air cooling is limited to batteries of 10 kWh or less and not the 800 volt class.
11A high-voltage battery system needs the high-voltage control box on the same quote.
12The High Performance Terminal dHPT+19 is quoted only with the Fast Charging Connector dFCC.
13The Fast Charging Connector dFCC is not quoted for the 48 volt class.
14The dFuseSmart 48 Volt module is quoted only with the 48 volt class.
15Friction-welded aluminium cable lugs are quoted only with the high-voltage wiring harness.
16The Multilayer power distribution is quoted only with the battery system.
179 thousand vehicles a year is below the 10 thousand program minimum.
18301 thousand vehicles a year is above the 300 thousand a year this model covers.
19A program of 2 years is not offered; choose 3 to 8 years.
20A program of 9 years is not offered; choose 3 to 8 years.
21An extra discount of 12 percent is above 8 percent and needs sales director approval.
22The extra discount is 20 percent; this model allows at most 15 percent.
23An annual program value of 499,000,000 dollars is above 400 million and needs executive approval.
24Round cells in an 800 volt battery need an engineering review.
25The quote states an annual value of 100,000,000 dollars; the quoted items compute to 249,500,000 dollars.
26A plug-in hybrid battery of 40 kWh is above the 30 kWh limit.
275 thousand vehicles a year is below the 10 thousand program minimum.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a per-vehicle e-mobility content program quote for a vehicle maker: the high-voltage battery system, control box, charging connector, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the product line and returns a verdict, every reason and the annual value it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote a plug-in hybrid 800 volt program. The annual value is 21,740,000 dollars. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with six findings, all in one answer. The 800 volt class is quoted for battery electric vehicles only, not plug-in hybrids. A plug-in hybrid battery of 40 kWh is above the 30 kWh limit. A high-voltage battery system needs the high-voltage control box on the same quote. The other three are on screen.
    6. 
      
  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. 
      
  7. What this shows: for parts that need each other, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the voltage class to 400 volt, the battery capacity to 25 kWh, the HV control box to yes, the Fast Charging Connector dFCC to yes and the annual value stated on the quote to 73,245,000 dollars. Two more changes are on screen.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All six earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  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.
    14.
