An AI sales agent's managed security quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Huntress managed security: Managed EDR for endpoints, Managed ITDR and ISPM for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace identities, Managed SIEM for data sources and Managed SAT for learners, bought direct, through a reseller or through an MSP. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the products, channel terms and per-unit prices Huntress publishes and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.

Scope: Huntress Managed EDR, ITDR, ISPM, SIEM and SAT quotes at the published list prices, bought direct, through a reseller or through an MSP, with seat minimums, billing, platform coverage, log retention, term and the stated total. See everything this validator covers

This validator models managed security quotes for Huntress as published on the Huntress pricing and product pages, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Products and prices — Managed EDR ($8.99 list a month per endpoint), Managed ITDR ($4.80 per licensed identity), Managed SIEM ($4.00 per data source), Managed SAT ($2.08 per learner) and Managed ISPM ($4.00 per licensed identity). From 100 units of a product the published 100-unit rate applies ($7.99, $3.60, $3.50, $1.75 and $3.40). Each product includes the 24/7 SOC; there are no add-on tiers.
  • Channel terms — direct and reseller purchases need at least 50 seats of each product and an MSP sets none; the standard term is 12 months; resellers are billed annually, direct customers monthly or annually, and customers served by an MSP monthly in arrears.
  • Coverage — Managed EDR covers Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints, not phones or tablets; Managed ITDR covers Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace identities, Managed ISPM covers Microsoft 365 only, and both are priced per licensed identity; Managed SIEM keeps logs one year by default and up to seven years.
  • Approvals — Extended Retention (no published price), terms longer than 12 months, usage above a committed minimum, and volumes above 250 units of a product (the volume schedule is not published) go to a person.

Any Huntress managed security quote that touches these products and rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: Managed ESPM (no published price), partner (MSP and reseller) wholesale pricing, taxes, negotiated discounts, free trials and the Huntress Buyout Program. Prices are the list prices read in October 2026 and may change.

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 seat minimum that depends on how the customer buysOnly with care
The 50-seat minimum applies to direct and reseller purchases of each product but not through an MSP, so a validation rule needs the channel and a rule per product.
The channel and every quantity are in one request and each product is checked against the minimum together.
Billing that depends on the channelOnly with care
Resellers are billed annually, direct customers monthly or annually and MSP-served customers monthly in arrears; a rule per channel is easy to leave out or to leave stale.
Channel and billing are checked together on every call.
Products that depend on the identity platformOnly with care
Managed ISPM covers Microsoft 365 only, while Managed ITDR covers Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace; the product rules must follow the tenant the customer names.
The tenant and each identity product are in one request and checked together.
A price that steps down at 100 units, product by productOnly with workarounds
Each product has its own list price and its own rate from 100 units, so the price rules are a table per product that must be kept in step with the price page.
The unit price is chosen from the quantity of each product and the total is compared with the stated figure in the same pass.
Identities that must not exceed the licensed countOnly with workarounds
ITDR and ISPM are priced per licensed identity; comparing the quantity with the tenant licensed count needs a validation rule per product and a field the rep may leave empty.
The licensed count is a field of the quote and both products are compared with it on every call.
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

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 Managed EDR quantity is 49 (endpoints); buying direct or through a reseller requires at least 50 seats of each product, and no minimum applies through an MSP.
2A product is quoted above 250 units; Huntress lowers the per-unit rate as volume grows but does not publish the schedule, so the rate used is a ceiling and a person should confirm the volume price.
3The Managed ITDR quantity is 49 (licensed identities); buying direct or through a reseller requires at least 50 seats of each product, and no minimum applies through an MSP.
4Managed ITDR and Managed ISPM protect Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace identities, and the quote names no tenant for them.
5Managed ITDR is quoted for 100 identities but the tenant has 90 licensed identities; it is priced per licensed identity.
6Managed ISPM hardens Microsoft 365; a quote whose only tenant is Google Workspace cannot include it.
7Managed ISPM is quoted for 80 identities but the tenant has 70 licensed identities; it is priced per licensed identity.
8The Managed ISPM quantity is 49 (licensed identities); buying direct or through a reseller requires at least 50 seats of each product, and no minimum applies through an MSP.
9The Managed SIEM quantity is 49 (data sources); buying direct or through a reseller requires at least 50 seats of each product, and no minimum applies through an MSP.
10The quote asks for 7 years of SIEM retention; Huntress offers Extended Retention up to seven years but publishes no price for it, so a person should confirm.
11The quote asks for 2 years of SIEM retention; Huntress offers Extended Retention up to seven years but publishes no price for it, so a person should confirm.
12The quote asks for 8 years of SIEM log retention; Managed SIEM keeps logs for one year by default and up to seven years.
13The Managed SAT quantity is 49 (learners); buying direct or through a reseller requires at least 50 seats of each product, and no minimum applies through an MSP.
14A customer served by an MSP is billed monthly in arrears on deployed usage; annual billing is offered to direct customers and resellers.
15A purchase through a reseller is billed annually; monthly billing is offered to direct customers and, in arrears, to customers served by an MSP.
16The Managed EDR quantity is 40 (endpoints); buying direct or through a reseller requires at least 50 seats of each product, and no minimum applies through an MSP.
17The quote asks Managed EDR to cover phones or tablets (count 10); Managed EDR protects Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints.
18The quote asks Managed EDR to cover phones or tablets (count 1); Managed EDR protects Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints.
19The quote has no Huntress product with a quantity above zero.
20The quote has a term of 11 months; the standard Huntress term is 12 months.
21The quote has a term of 24 months; Huntress does not offer multi-year terms for price protection unless its account team agrees, so a person should confirm.
22The quote has a term of 36 months; Huntress does not offer multi-year terms for price protection unless its account team agrees, so a person should confirm.

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 Huntress managed security: Managed EDR for endpoints, Managed ITDR and ISPM for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace identities, Managed SIEM for data sources and Managed SAT for learners, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the products, channel terms and per-unit prices Huntress publishes and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote Huntress for a customer buying through a reseller, billed monthly for a 12-month term, with Managed EDR for 120 endpoints. The company runs on Google Workspace with 130 identities licensed. The rest of the request is on screen. The quote states a total of $25,155.60 for 12 months.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with three findings and one approval, all in one answer. A purchase through a reseller is billed annually; monthly billing is offered to direct customers and, in arrears, to customers served by an MSP. The quote asks Managed EDR to cover phones or tablets (count 25); Managed EDR protects Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints. Managed ISPM hardens Microsoft 365; a quote whose only tenant is Google Workspace cannot include it.
  6. The validator returned three blocking findings and one approval 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 seat minimum that depends on how the customer buys, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the billing to annual and the stated total to $19,851.60. It removes the phones and tablets for EDR and Managed ISPM identities.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. Not blocked, but held for a person.
  12. The validator also returns the line-item quote. It starts with Managed EDR and Managed ITDR; the other line is on screen.
  13. The three blocking findings are cleared; one approval remains for a person: usage above the committed minimum.
  14. The agent resubmits once more.
  15. The revised request. It changes the committed minimum endpoints to 120.
  16. It calls the validator once more.
  17. This time the validator clears it.
  18. The validator also returns the line-item quote. It starts with Managed EDR and Managed ITDR; the other line is on screen.
  19. The earlier finding is cleared, and the validator's total, $19,851.60, matches the quote.
  20. Four problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean $19,851.60 quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
