Predictika · Fleet program quotes
An AI sales agent assembles a fleet program, the vehicle lease, the Navigator fuel card and the services around it. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model, compares the fuel card count the agent states with the one it computes, and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
This validator models quotes for an Element Fleet Essentials program built from Element's public product names, not just the scenarios shown below.
Any Element Fleet Essentials program quote that touches these products and rules is in scope, not only the scenarios pictured here. Product names are Element's own public names. The fleet size range, lease term limits, mileage and life limits, the dependencies between services and the approval thresholds are modeled from comparable fleet programs and are not Element-published rules. Not covered: prices (this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), customized programs for fleets of 250 or more vehicles, mixed vehicle classes in one quote, and other Element services.

What this means
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 caught | Typical rules-based CPQ | Predictika |
|---|---|---|
| Lease limits that depend on the lease type and vehicle class | Only with care Open-end and closed-end terms, the mileage cap and the medium-duty exclusion are separate rules per combination; they work, but every new class multiplies the rules to maintain. | Lease type, class, term and miles are checked together on every call. |
| Projected miles against the vehicle life limit | Only with workarounds The projection is annual miles times the term, compared with a limit that depends on the class; it needs a calculation that a plain rule cannot hold. | The projected miles are computed and compared with the class limit. |
| A fuel-only card that cannot pay for maintenance | Only with workarounds The conflict is between a card setting on one line and a service on another, so it needs a cross-line rule that interacts with everything else on the quote. | Every choice is in one request, so the conflict is found whichever order the choices arrive in. |
| Stated fuel card count that must match the vehicles and spares | Only with care A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with a computed one, but someone has to write and maintain that comparison. | The stated figure travels with the quote and is compared with the computed figure on every call. |
| Services that depend on each other (collision, remarketing, EV charging) | Only with care Each dependency is a simple rule, but they pile up and a rep fixes one error only to meet the next. | Every dependency is checked on every call. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only 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. |
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.
| 1 | A program of 9 vehicles is outside the 10 to 249 vehicles that this model allows for Element Fleet Essentials; larger fleets need a customized program. |
| 2 | A program of 250 vehicles is outside the 10 to 249 vehicles that this model allows for Element Fleet Essentials; larger fleets need a customized program. |
| 3 | A program of 250 vehicles or more needs a fleet sales director to review the pricing and service levels. |
| 4 | A program of 249 vehicles or more needs a fleet sales director to review the pricing and service levels. |
| 5 | An open-end lease runs 1 to 5 years in this model; the quote has 6 years. |
| 6 | An open-end lease runs 1 to 5 years in this model; the quote has 0 years. |
| 7 | A closed-end lease runs 2 to 5 years in this model; the quote has 1 years. |
| 8 | A closed-end lease runs 2 to 5 years in this model; the quote has 6 years. |
| 9 | A closed-end lease allows at most 30,000 miles a year in this model; the vehicles are planned for 31,000. |
| 10 | Medium-duty trucks are leased open-end only in this model. |
| 11 | A medium-duty open-end lease of 5 years needs a residual value review. |
| 12 | The vehicles would run 120,004 miles over the lease term; this vehicle class is replaced at 120,000 miles in this model. |
| 13 | The vehicles would run 160,000 miles over the lease term; this vehicle class is replaced at 150,000 miles in this model. |
| 14 | Maintenance management identifies enrolled vehicles by the Navigator card, and the quote has no card. |
| 15 | The card on the quote is restricted to fuel purchases, so repairs and routine maintenance charges would be disputed; maintenance management needs the unrestricted card. |
| 16 | Collision management routes repairs through the maintenance network, so maintenance management must be on the quote. |
| 17 | Xcelerate Intelligence reporting is quoted for programs of at least 25 vehicles in this model; this program has 24. |
| 18 | EV charging is on the quote but the program has no electric vehicles. |
| 19 | The program has 70 electric vehicles but only 60 vehicles in total. |
| 20 | 7 spare cards are more than 10 percent of the 60 vehicles in this model. |
| 21 | Remarketing transfers ownership and title, so licensing and registration management must be on the quote. |
| 22 | The quote states 70 fuel cards, but the vehicles and spares on it need 66. |
| 23 | The quote states 60 fuel cards, but the vehicles and spares on it need 66. |
| 24 | Telematics is quoted without a fuel card, so vehicle location cannot be matched with fuel purchases; a person should confirm the customer accepts that. |
| 25 | A program of 150 vehicles or more needs a fleet sales director to review the pricing and service levels. |
| 26 | A closed-end lease allows at most 30,000 miles a year in this model; the vehicles are planned for 45,000. |
