Predictika · Performance turbocharger orders

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

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a G-Series performance turbocharger from the public Garrett performance catalog pages: the model, the rotation, the turbine housing or kit, the target power and the engine displacement. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of what the catalog lists and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Garrett G25-550, G30-660, G30-770 and G40-1150: rotation, turbine housing or kit (A/R, inlet, wastegate, divided), power range and engine displacement. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for four G-Series turbochargers on Garrett's public performance catalog pages, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Models — G25-550 (300 to 550 hp, 1.4 to 3.0 L), G30-660 (350 to 660 hp, 2.0 to 3.5 L), G30-770 (475 to 770 hp, 2.0 to 3.5 L) and G40-1150 (500 to 1,150 hp, 2.0 to 6.0 L), each with the power and displacement range the catalog states.
  • Turbine housing or kit — the A/R ratio, inlet (V-band, T25, T3 or T4), wastegate (internal or external, shown by Garrett as free float on some pages) and divided setting must match a housing or kit the catalog lists for that model and rotation; the G30-660 and G30-770 share one list.
  • Rotation — standard and reverse rotation are checked per model; the G40-1150 is listed in standard rotation only.
  • Stated figure — a maximum power stated on the order is compared with the catalog figure for the chosen model.

Any order for these four models that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the catalog pages list none, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), other Garrett product lines (GT, GTX, OEM programs), actuator calibration, accessories and fitment to a specific vehicle.

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
A turbine housing the catalog does not list for this modelOnly with care
Each model has its own list of A/R, inlet, wastegate and divided combinations, so it takes a table of valid combinations per model and rotation kept in step with the catalog.
The model, rotation, A/R, inlet, wastegate and divided setting are checked together against the listed combinations on every call.
A rotation the model does not come inOnly with care
A per-model flag plus a rule that must not also fire a second, confusing message about the missing housing.
The G40-1150 reverse-rotation case returns its own clear finding, and the housing check stays quiet for it.
A power or displacement outside the model rangeEasy
A min and max per model is a standard validation rule.
Each model carries its own range and every figure is checked against it.
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.

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 G-Series performance turbocharger from the public Garrett performance catalog pages: the model, the rotation, the turbine housing or kit, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of what the catalog lists and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote a Garrett G30-770 turbocharger in standard rotation with a 1.21 A/R turbine housing, T3 inlet, external (free float) wastegate. It is ready to send. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. The target of 800 hp is outside the 475 to 770 hp range Garrett lists for this model. No turbine housing or kit with A/R 1.21 and the chosen inlet, wastegate and divided setting is listed for this model and rotation.
  6. The validator returned two 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 power or displacement outside the model range, a rules-based CPQ is easy.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the Turbine A/R to 1.01 and the target power to 770.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. Both earlier findings are cleared.
  13. Two 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.
