An AI sales agent's equipment lease quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a monthly lease payment for a business that wants to finance equipment on a Classic Lease. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks the finance amount, the term and the stated payment against the published Classic Lease factors and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: GRENKE US Classic Lease monthly payment quotes: finance amounts of 500 to 200,000 dollars, six finance-amount bands and terms of 24 to 60 months. See everything this validator covers

This validator models the GRENKE US Classic Lease payment estimate, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Amount and band — a finance amount from 500 to 200,000 dollars, placed in one of six bands (up to 2,500; 5,000; 12,500; 25,000; 50,000 dollars, and above 50,000), each with its own factor.
  • Term — 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54 or 60 months; any other term is not offered.
  • Payment check — the monthly lease payment is the finance amount times the published factor, and the payment stated on the quote must equal it to the cent. The total of payments over the term is computed with it.

Any Classic Lease quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. The eleven asset categories of the calculator are recorded, and in the published factor table the payment does not vary by category. Not covered: credit review, taxes, fees, residual or purchase options, other GRENKE products, and any asset above 200,000 dollars, for which GRENKE asks to be contacted directly. Payments are list-factor estimates; the calculator itself says actual figures may vary based on credit.

The AI sales agentBuilds the lease quote 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. Range limits and a list of terms are easy for such a tool, so they are not listed.

    
What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
A stated payment checked against the published factorOnly with care
The rate table computes a price, but checking a figure typed in by someone else against it takes a separate validation rule on an agent-supplied field, and one for every term.		The stated payment is a field of the request and is compared with the computed one on every call, to the cent.
Factors that change at exact band edgesOnly with care
A lookup on the finance amount is easy to build and easy to get wrong at the edges, such as 50,000 and 50,100 dollars; each edge needs its own test.		The band is computed from the amount in the same call and the payment follows it.
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 rules
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; everything else is computed. Three of the four rules are shown firing in the scenarios on this page; the minimum-amount rule is part of the model and is not shown here.

    
1A finance amount below 500 dollars is below the minimum of the published calculator.
2A finance amount above 200,000 dollars is outside the calculator; GRENKE asks to be contacted directly, so no published factor applies.
3A term that is not 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54 or 60 months is not offered.
4The monthly lease payment stated on the quote differs from the finance amount times the published factor for its band and term.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a monthly lease payment for a business that wants to finance equipment on a Classic Lease. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks the finance amount, the term and the stated payment against the published Classic Lease factors and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote a Classic Lease for industrial machines, with a finance amount of $240,000 over 60 months. The quote states a monthly lease payment of $4,560.00. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. The finance amount of $240,000 is above $200,000; GRENKE asks to be contacted directly for assets above that value, so no published factor applies.
    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 factors that change at exact band edges, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the finance amount to $200,000 and the quoted monthly lease payment to $3,800.
    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, $3,800.00 a month, matches the quote.
    14. 
      
  14. One problem 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.
