An AI sales agent's digital banking licence quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a licence quote for Finastra Fusion Digital Banking with an edition, a core, hosting and payment and security modules. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the editions and modules and returns a verdict, every reason and the annual total it computed.

Scope: Finastra Fusion Digital Banking: Consumer and Business editions, the core and hosting, bill pay, remote deposit, P2P, ACH, wires, multi-entity login, token authentication, languages and discount. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Fusion Digital Banking licence quotes, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Edition and core — the Consumer, Business and combined editions, the Fusion Phoenix, UltraData, Essence and Cornerstone cores or a third-party core, and Finastra or institution hosting.
  • Payment and security modules — Easy Bill Pay and PicturePay, remote deposit, P2P, card management, ACH, wires, multi-entity login, approval workflow and secondary token authentication, and which edition and module each one needs.
  • Limits, discount and order size — entities and languages per licence, the discount against the maximum and the approval level, and the reviews that very large deployments need.

Any Fusion Digital Banking licence quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other Finastra products, implementation services and usage-based charges. Edition and feature names follow Finastra's public pages; the edition rules, limits, approval levels and every price are modeled, not published by Finastra.

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
Features that belong to one editionOnly with care
Each feature needs a rule that checks the edition, and the list grows with every module.
The edition and every module are in one request and checked together on every call.
Modules that depend on other modulesOnly with care
Money movement needs token authentication, and multiple entities need the multi-entity module, so each dependency is its own rule.
The modules are fields of one request and the dependencies are checked on every call.
A core that needs a connector, and hosting that depends on the coreOnly with care
The core, the connector and the hosting have to be checked against each other with separate rules.
The core, connector and hosting are in one request and checked together on every call.
Discount limits and review levels for large deploymentsOnly with workarounds
The discount limit, the approval level and the large-order reviews each need a rule, and the annual total has to be computed first.
The discount, user count and computed total are checked together 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.

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 licence quote for Finastra Fusion Digital Banking with an edition, a core, hosting and payment and security modules. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the editions and modules and returns a verdict, every reason and the annual total it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote Fusion Digital Banking, Consumer edition, for 25 thousand retail users, on Fusion Phoenix, hosted by Finastra, with ACH batch origination, wire transfers and 3 entities under one login. It is ready to send.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with four findings, all in one answer. ACH origination is a business-banking feature; the Consumer edition does not include it. Wire transfers are a business-banking feature; the Consumer edition does not include them. ACH or wire origination requires secondary token authentication on the quote. The other one is on screen.
  6. The validator returned four 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 features that belong to one edition, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the edition to Consumer and Business, the business accounts to 150, the secondary token authentication to yes and the multi-entity login to yes.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. All four earlier findings are cleared.
  13. Four 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.
