Predictika · Large engine turbocharger quotes

An AI sales agent's large engine turbocharger quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent drafts a quote for a large engine turbocharger: the turbocharger frame, the filter silencer, the exhaust bypass, the engine power, the fuel, the emissions tier, the application, the pressure ratio, the exhaust temperature and the number of turbochargers. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the frame limits, fuel and emissions requirements, and discount authority, compares the net total the agent states with the one it computes, and reports every problem it finds in one pass.

Scope: Everllence style large engine turbocharger quotes: four turbocharger frames, three filter silencers and an exhaust bypass, with engine power, fuel, emissions tier, application, pressure ratio, exhaust temperature, quantity and discounts. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Everllence style large engine turbocharger quotes: turbocharger frame, filter silencer, exhaust bypass, engine power, fuel, emissions tier, application, pressure ratio, exhaust temperature, quantity and discount. It handles any quote made of these frames, silencers and bypass options, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Frame, engine power and temperature — Four turbocharger frames (A100 to A400), each with a maximum engine power, pressure ratio and exhaust temperature. A power above 90 percent of the limit, or a temperature above 95 percent, needs an application engineering review.
  • Fuel and emissions tier — The A100 handles diesel only; heavy fuel and gas need a larger frame. Tier 3 emissions need variable turbine geometry, which only the A300 and A400 have.
  • Filter silencer and application — Three filter silencers, each rated for a maximum engine power, and a marine application needs the salt resistant one.
  • Exhaust bypass — A pressure ratio index of 44 or more needs an exhaust waste gate.
  • Quantity, discounts and order size — One to eight turbochargers on a quote, a volume discount from 3 units, an extra discount that needs approval when the total passes 5 percent and is blocked above 12 percent, and a deal desk review above USD 1,500,000.
  • The stated net total — A check that the net total the agent states matches the contract value the validator computes.

Any turbocharger quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other Everllence products (engines, compressors, turbines), real list prices, taxes, installation, commissioning or financing.

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
Frame limits for power, pressure ratio and temperatureOnly with care
A lookup per frame plus review bands; every new frame adds rows.		Limits are catalog data; the checks follow from the choices.
Fuel and emissions tier against the frameOnly with care
Dependency rules between fuel, tier and the frame features that must agree.		Evaluated together on every call.
Filter silencer rating and marine dutyOnly with workarounds
A rating compared with engine power, plus a marine condition, usually one rule per silencer.		The rating and the marine flag are catalog data, checked on every call.
Waste gate above a pressure ratioOnly with workarounds
A threshold on one field that forces a choice in another catalog.		Computed once and compared in the same pass.
The total the agent statesOnly with workarounds
Comparing a stated total with a computed one means a separate rule per quote layout, and price rules rarely run on stated figures.		The stated net total is a field in the request and is checked against the computed total.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the quote is saved, 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.

    
1The engine power is above 90 percent of the turbocharger limit; application engineering must confirm.
2The exhaust temperature is above 95 percent of the turbocharger limit; application engineering must confirm.
3Total discount of 6 percent is above the 5 percent a rep can give; sales director must approve.
4Order value of $1,784,800 is above $1,500,000 and needs a deal desk review.
5An engine power of 9,000 kW is outside the 1 to 8,000 kW the Turbocharger frame A200 can serve.
6The Turbocharger frame A100 is not approved for the fuel chosen.
7Tier 3 emissions need variable turbine geometry and the Turbocharger frame A200 has none.
8A pressure ratio index of 48 (ratio times 10) is above the 46 the Turbocharger frame A200 delivers.
9An exhaust temperature of 540 C is above the 520 C the Turbocharger frame A200 withstands.
10A marine application needs a salt resistant filter silencer and the Standard filter silencer is not one.
11The Standard filter silencer is rated for 10,000 kW and the engine is 12,000 kW.
12A pressure ratio index of 44 or more needs an exhaust waste gate.
1310 turbochargers are outside the 1 to 8 turbochargers of one quote.
14Total discount of 16 percent exceeds the 12 percent limit.
15The quoted net total of $140,400 does not match the $156,000 the validator computed.

  

  

    
Scenarios and results

The recorded result of the validator for each scenario on this page: the request the AI agent sent, the verdict, and every finding, in the order they appear above.

    
1. Marine application: The total is right; the silencer does not suit marine duty

    
The agent's request. This is for a shipyard that is quoting the turbocharger for a marine engine. A turbocharger frame A200 with a standard filter silencer, on a 6000 kW diesel engine (Tier 2, marine application), pressure ratio index 40, exhaust 480 C. Net total $156,000. It is ready to send.

    
Verdict: Blocked.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent drafts a quote for a large engine turbocharger: the turbocharger frame, the filter silencer, the exhaust bypass, and more. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the frame limits, fuel and emissions requirements, and discount authority, compares the net total the agent states with the one it computes, and reports every problem it finds in one pass.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. This is for a shipyard that is quoting the turbocharger for a marine engine. A turbocharger frame A200 with a standard filter silencer, on a 6000 kW diesel engine (Tier 2, marine application), pressure ratio index 40, exhaust 480 C. The rest of the request is on screen. Net total $156,000.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. A marine application needs a salt resistant filter silencer and the standard filter silencer is not one.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned one blocking finding 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 filter silencer rating and marine duty, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the filter silencer to marine salt resistant filter silencer and the net total stated on the quote to $172,000.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. The validator also returns the line-item quote, on screen.
    13. 
      
  13. The earlier finding is cleared, and the validator's total, $172,000, matches the quote.
    14. 
      
  14. One problem caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean $172,000 quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
