An AI sales agent's moulded case circuit breaker quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a Havells HIM moulded case circuit breaker: frame, poles, rated current, breaking class, voltage, internal accessories and trip coil voltage. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of Havells' published HIM catalogue and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it looked up.

Scope: Havells HIM series moulded case circuit breakers (HIM100 to HIM800): poles and rated currents per frame, breaking class and breaking capacity (Icu) by voltage, internal accessory combinations, and shunt and undervoltage trip coil voltages. See everything this validator covers

This validator models quotes for the Havells HIM moulded case circuit breaker range in the catalogue, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Frames — HIM100, HIM125, HIM250, HIM400, HIM630 and HIM800, each with the pole counts and rated currents the catalogue lists for that frame.
  • Breaking class and capacity — the class (E, S, H or L) must be offered for the frame; the breaking capacity (Icu) is looked up by frame, class and voltage (415, 460, 500, 690 or 240 V); the site fault level must not exceed it, and a capacity stated on the quote must equal the catalogue value.
  • Accessories — the auxiliary and alarm switches, shunt trip, undervoltage trip and the combined auxiliary + alarm switch (AXT), checked against the frames and combinations the catalogue shows; the DIN rail adaptor is offered for HIM100 only; trip coil voltages are checked against those listed for the frame.

Any HIM breaker quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the catalogue has none, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), the Loadline series and other Havells ranges, residual current and motor protection releases, mounting and terminal accessories, and dimensions. Assumptions: the catalogue shows allowed internal accessory combinations as icon diagrams and this validator reads them as printed; a combination not shown is blocked, and a breaker class and voltage not listed gives no capacity.

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
Breaking capacity by frame, class and voltageOnly with workarounds
Capacity depends on three things at once, and a rules-based CPQ needs a table of option rules per frame and class that someone has to keep in step with the catalogue.
The frame, class and voltage travel in one request and the capacity is looked up and compared with the site fault level on every call.
Which accessories fit which frame and pole countOnly with care
Accessory combinations differ by frame and poles, so each frame needs its own cross-line rules and an exception for each new accessory.
The frame, poles and accessories are in one request and checked together.
Trip coil voltages per frameOnly with workarounds
Each coil voltage is offered on some frames and not others, so the coil choice needs its own rule per frame.
The coil and frame are checked together against the catalogue lists.
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 quote for a Havells HIM moulded case circuit breaker: frame, poles, rated current, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of Havells' published HIM catalogue and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it looked up.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote a Havells HIM400 400 A, 3-pole, class E breaker at 415 V for a panel with a 50 kA fault level, with an auxiliary + alarm switch (AXT). The breaking capacity of this breaker is 45 kA. 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 site fault level of 50.0 kA is above the 45.0 kA breaking capacity (Icu) of this breaker at this voltage. The auxiliary + alarm switch (AXT) is not offered for the HIM400 frame.
  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 breaking capacity by frame, class and voltage, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the breaking class to S, the accessories to an auxiliary switch, an alarm switch, a shunt trip and the stated breaking capacity to 65 kA. It sets the trip coil voltage to 100-125 Vdc.
  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. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
