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

An AI sales agent prepares an order for performance turbochargers with a supercore, a turbine kit, the exhaust flange and wastegate the engine needs, and a power and speed plan. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the product tables Garrett publishes and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Garrett GTX2867R Gen II and GTX3582R Gen II performance turbochargers: supercore rotation, turbine kit fit, inlet flange, wastegate, power and engine-size range, speed limit and use. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for two Garrett performance turbochargers, the GTX2867R Gen II (50 mm) and the GTX3582R Gen II (66 mm), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Supercore and turbine kit — the 16 turbine kits Garrett lists across the two turbochargers, each tied to its turbocharger and to standard or reverse rotation; a reverse-rotation supercore is listed only for the GTX3582R Gen II.
  • Inlet flange and wastegate — the order can state the exhaust manifold flange (T3, T4, V-band or T25) and a free-float or internal wastegate, and the kit must match.
  • Power, engine size and speed — Garrett lists a power range (275 to 550 hp and 450 to 900 hp), an engine displacement range (1.4 to 2.5 L and 2.0 to 4.5 L) and a maximum allowable speed (165 and 130 krpm); a plan outside them needs a person to approve it.
  • Use and kit count — Garrett states these units are for certain racing vehicles and not legal on public roads; the number of turbine kits stated must equal the number of turbochargers.

Any order for these two turbochargers that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the Garrett pages list none, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), other GTX and GT models, Gen I units, the GTX4720R Gen II, OEM and program orders, speed sensors and other accessories. Assumptions: one turbine kit per turbocharger, and approval for plans outside Garrett's listed ranges, are this model's guidelines.

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 kit that belongs to the other turbocharger, or to the other rotationOnly with care
A product rule per kit and turbocharger; each new kit or model adds rules that must be written and maintained.
The turbocharger, rotation and kit part number are in one request and checked together on every call.
A reverse-rotation supercore that exists for only one turbochargerOnly with care
A selection rule tied to one model; easy to miss for the other.
The turbocharger and rotation are compared with Garrett's listing on every call.
Inlet flange and wastegate that must match the engineOnly with workarounds
The requirement lives on one line and the property on a kit on another, so it needs cross-line rules that interact with the kit choice.
The requirement and the kit are in one request, and every mismatch is reported together.
Power, engine-size and speed limits that differ per turbochargerOnly with workarounds
Each model has its own limits, so each needs its own validation rule and thresholds.
The limits for the selected turbocharger are compared with the plan on every call, in any order.
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 quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

1The turbine kit and the supercore are not the same rotation; Garrett lists standard-rotation and reverse-rotation turbine kits separately.
2The selected turbine kit is listed for the other turbocharger; Garrett lists separate turbine kits for the GTX2867R Gen II and the GTX3582R Gen II.
3Garrett lists a reverse-rotation supercore only for the GTX3582R Gen II; none is listed for the GTX2867R Gen II.
4The target of 950 hp is outside the 450 to 900 hp power range Garrett lists for this turbocharger.
5The target of 449 hp is outside the 450 to 900 hp power range Garrett lists for this turbocharger.
6The target of 551 hp is outside the 275 to 550 hp power range Garrett lists for this turbocharger.
7The engine displacement of 4,600 cc is outside the 2,000 to 4,500 cc range Garrett lists for this turbocharger.
8The engine displacement of 1,300 cc is outside the 1,400 to 2,500 cc range Garrett lists for this turbocharger.
9The planned turbocharger speed of 131 krpm is above the 130 krpm maximum allowable speed Garrett lists; Garrett says use above it is at the risk of the owner and can cause damage and premature failure.
10The planned turbocharger speed of 166 krpm is above the 165 krpm maximum allowable speed Garrett lists; Garrett says use above it is at the risk of the owner and can cause damage and premature failure.
11Garrett states these GEN II units are professional aftermarket products designed for certain racing vehicles and are not legal for use in vehicles on public roads.
12The selected turbine kit does not have the inlet flange that the engine exhaust manifold needs.

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 an order for performance turbochargers with a supercore, a turbine kit, the exhaust flange and wastegate the engine needs, and a power and speed plan. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the product tables Garrett publishes 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 10 GTX2867R Gen II turbochargers with standard-rotation supercores and turbine kit 827690-0003, stating 8 turbine kits, for a racing engine of 2,200 cc. 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 three findings and two approvals, all in one answer. The selected turbine kit does not have the inlet flange that the engine exhaust manifold needs. The selected turbine kit has a different wastegate configuration (free float or internal) than the quote asks for. The quote states 8 turbine kits for 10 turbochargers; each turbocharger takes one turbine kit.
  6. The validator returned three blocking findings and two approvals 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 power, engine-size and speed limits that differ per turbocharger, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the turbine kit to 827690-0001 and the stated turbine kits as to 10.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. Not blocked, but held for a person.
  12. The three blocking findings are cleared; two approvals remain for a person: target power outside the listed range and planned speed above the maximum allowable.
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
  14. The revised request. It changes the power target to 520 hp and the planned turbocharger speed to 160 krpm.
  15. It calls the validator once more.
  16. This time the validator clears it.
  17. Both earlier findings are cleared.
  18. Five problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, 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.
