Predictika · Business postpaid mobile orders

An AI sales agent's business mobile order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a business postpaid order for a company: a Business Xtreme plan with a contract option, lines, a promotion, a number tier, MultiSIMs, a Managed Edge Device and sometimes a change request on an existing line. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published plan rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the monthly rental it computed.

Scope: e& (Etisalat by e&) UAE Business Xtreme plans 325, 600, 1000 and 1200, with no contract, 12 or 24 month contracts, the online promotion, number tiers, MultiSIM, Managed Edge Device and device add-ons. See everything this validator covers

This validator models e& Business Xtreme orders, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Plan and contract — the monthly rental of each plan on a 12 or 24 month contract or with no contract, and the stated monthly amount against the computed one.
  • Promotion and number tier — the 20 percent promotion for the first 5 months, which applies to new lines on a contract that are activated online, and the number tier listed for each plan and contract.
  • Options — MultiSIM, which is listed for the 600, 1000 and 1200 plans only, the Managed Edge Device, and a device add-on, which needs a contract.
  • Changes and documents — the 12 months before an upgrade or downgrade on the 1000 and 1200 plans, no porting out during the commitment, the charges for an early change or exit, and the trade license and letter of authority an application needs.

Any Business Xtreme order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: Business First Plus, data-only plans, roaming packs, VAT and add-ons. The validator shows a computed monthly rental but no line-item table, and the rentals are the dirham amounts shown on the e& pages.

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
Options that depend on the plan and the contractOnly with care
MultiSIM is listed for three of the four plans and the Managed Edge Device depends on both the plan and the contract, so each option needs rules for every combination.
The plan, contract and options are fields of one request and are checked together on every call.
A promotion that applies only to some ordersOnly with care
The promotion needs a contract, a new line and the online channel at once, and its amount depends on the plan, so one rule must check all of it.
The channel, line type, contract and stated promotion are in one request and compared on every call.
A number tier that depends on the plan and the contractOnly with care
Each plan and contract pair lists a different tier, so a table of pairs has to sit behind one rule.
The plan, the contract and the requested tier are fields of the request and are checked together.
A stated monthly amount that must match the computed oneOnly with workarounds
The amount depends on the plan, the contract and the number of lines, so a separate rule is needed to recompute it and compare it with the stated figure.
The stated amount is a field of the request and is compared with the computed monthly rental 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.

Narration transcript

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a business postpaid order for a company: a Business Xtreme plan with a contract option, lines, a promotion, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published plan rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the monthly rental it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote 1 line of Xtreme 325 on a 12 month contract. The lines are new lines sold through the online portal, with 2 MultiSIMs per line, the Managed Edge Device requested, without a device and the number tier Gold. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with five findings, all in one answer. The order states 200 dirhams per month for the first 5 months; 20 percent off the list rental gives 260. MultiSIM is listed for Xtreme 600, 1000 and 1200 only; the order has 2 MultiSIM(s) on Xtreme 325. The Managed Edge Device is included with Xtreme 1200 on any contract and with Xtreme 325, 600 and 1000 on the 24 month contract only. The other two are on screen.
  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. What this shows: for a stated monthly amount that must match the computed one, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the plan to Xtreme 600, the contract to 24 months, the number tier to Gold Plus, the stated monthly total to 600 dirhams and the promotion stated for the first 5 months to 480 dirhams per month.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. All five earlier findings are cleared.
  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.
