Predictika · Upright Multi-Position MRI

An AI sales agent's Upright MRI order and site plan, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a FONAR UPRIGHT Multi-Position MRI together with the customer's site plan: magnet room, equipment room, power, cooling, the heaviest patient and the coil packages. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the figures on Fonar's public siting and specifications pages and returns a verdict and every reason.

Scope: The FONAR UPRIGHT Multi-Position MRI (0.6 Tesla): the site plan against Fonar's published siting requirements, the patient weight limit, and the Standard and Advanced Coil Packages from its specifications page. See everything this validator covers

This validator models the figures on Fonar's public Upright MRI siting and specifications pages (fonar.com, read in October 2026), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Magnet room — minimum installed area of 504 sq ft (28 ft x 18 ft), required ceiling height of 11 ft, a 480 V three-phase supply of 125 A and a heat load of 30,000 BTU (cooling below it goes to a person).
  • Equipment room — minimum installed area of 240 sq ft (12 ft x 20 ft), a heat load of 48,000 BTU (cooling below it goes to a person), and system racks on a 120/208 V three-phase supply of 200 A.
  • Chiller — the closed-loop water chiller is included with the system; its supply is 480 V three-phase at 100 A.
  • Patients — the patient weight limit of 500 lb.
  • Coil packages — the Standard Coil Package (spine and body belts of 45, 55 and 65 inches, flexible cervical, Signal-Plus universal and solenoid wrist coils) and the Advanced Coil Package (quadrature planar, head, thoracic-lumbar and knee coils, and the phased array shoulder coil). A coil or belt whose package is not on the order goes to a person, and so does a coil that is on neither list.
  • Stated figures — the magnet room area and the total connected load the order states are compared with the room length and width and with the sum of the three power consumption figures on the siting page.

Any order for this scanner that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Fonar publishes none, so this validator produces no price build-up), the FONAR 360 and OPEN-SKY scanners, floor loading and delivery routes, software options, service contracts, and whether the Advanced package needs the Standard package (the pages do not say).

The AI sales agentBuilds the order and site plan from the conversation and says it is ready.

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
Site limits that sit beside the productOnly with workarounds
Room area, ceiling, three separate power supplies and two heat loads are site facts, not product options. A rules-based CPQ has no natural place for them and they are usually left to a site survey.		The siting figures are data; each order is compared with every one of them on every call.
Several shortfalls at onceOnly with care
A suite can fail on area, ceiling, amperage and cooling together; fixing one shows the next.		All site limits are evaluated together and every shortfall is reported in one answer.
Coils by packageOnly with care
Each coil belongs to a Standard or Advanced package; a rep can order a coil without the package that contains it.		The coil, the belt size and the packages in the order are checked together on every call.
Figures the order statesOnly with workarounds
A stated room area or connected load has to be recomputed from the room dimensions and from three consumption figures, and nothing in a plain configurator does that.		The stated figures are fields in the request, compared with the computed values on every call.
Items Fonar does not listOnly with workarounds
A coil that is on neither package list is neither valid nor invalid in a rules table; it is either blocked wrongly or let through.		It is sent to a person with the reason, instead of being guessed.
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
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 order; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1The magnet room is 493 sq ft; the Fonar siting page lists a minimum installed area of 504 sq ft (28 ft x 18 ft).
2The magnet room ceiling is 10 ft; the Fonar siting page lists a required ceiling height of 11 ft.
3The equipment room is 238 sq ft; the Fonar siting page lists a minimum installed area of 240 sq ft (12 ft x 20 ft).
4The magnet supply is 208 V; the Fonar siting page lists 480 V, three-phase.
5The magnet supply is 124 A; the Fonar siting page lists 125 A at 480 V, three-phase.
6The system racks need a 120/208 V three-phase supply according to the Fonar siting page.

8The chiller supply is 208 V; the Fonar siting page lists 480 V, three-phase.
9The chiller supply is 99 A; the Fonar siting page lists 100 A at 480 V, three-phase.
10The magnet room cooling is 29999 BTU, below the magnet room heat load of 30,000 BTU the Fonar siting page lists; a person should confirm with Fonar that the cooling covers it.
11The equipment room cooling is 47999 BTU, below the equipment room heat load of 48,000 BTU the Fonar siting page lists; a person should confirm with Fonar that the cooling covers it.
12The heaviest patient is 501 lb; the Fonar specifications page lists a patient weight limit of 500 lb.
13The order has a 50 inch spine and body belt; the Fonar specifications page lists 45, 55 and 65 inch belts.
14A coil or belt on the order is listed in the Standard Coil Package on the Fonar specifications page and the order does not include that package; a person should confirm with Fonar that it is supplied without the package.
15A coil on the order is listed in the Advanced Coil Package on the Fonar specifications page and the order does not include that package; a person should confirm with Fonar that it is supplied without the package.
16A requested coil is not among the coils the Fonar specifications page lists for the Standard and Advanced Coil Packages; a person should confirm it with Fonar.
17The order states a magnet room of 500 sq ft; the room length and width give 504 sq ft.
18The order states a connected load of 160 kVA; the Fonar siting page power consumption figures (100 kVA magnet, 20 kVA system racks, 47 kVA chiller when running) add up to 167 kVA.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for a FONAR UPRIGHT Multi-Position MRI together with the customer's site plan: magnet room, equipment room, power, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the figures on Fonar's public siting and specifications pages and returns a verdict and every reason.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please order the FONAR UPRIGHT Multi-Position MRI for our imaging center. The magnet room is 28 ft by 17 ft with a 10 ft ceiling, and the equipment room is 20 ft by 12 ft. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. The magnet room is 476 sq ft; the Fonar siting page lists a minimum installed area of 504 sq ft (28 ft x 18 ft). The magnet room ceiling is 10 ft; the Fonar siting page lists a required ceiling height of 11 ft. The order states a magnet room of 504 sq ft; the room length and width give 476 sq ft.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned three 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 order are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for site limits that sit beside the product, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the magnet room to 28 x 18.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. The magnet room ceiling is 10 ft; the Fonar siting page lists a required ceiling height of 11 ft.
    12. 
      
  12. Two findings cleared. Still blocking: magnet room ceiling too low.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the magnet room ceiling to 11 ft.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. The earlier finding is cleared, and the validator's figure matches the order.
    18. 
      
  18. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean order. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    19.
