Predictika · Zero-turn mower accessory orders
An AI sales agent prepares an order for a zero-turn mower with a collection system, bagger drive kit, mulching kit and discharge cover. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published accessory fit-up chart and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
This validator models accessory orders for Husqvarna fabricated-deck zero-turn mowers from the public accessory fit-up chart, not just the scenarios shown below.
Any accessory order for these mower models that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the chart lists part numbers only, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), stamped-deck and ClearCut tractors and zero-turns, V and W series, mulch covers, baffle kits, whether a listed serial number condition is actually met, and any part or model not on the chart.

What this means
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 caught | Typical rules-based CPQ | Predictika |
|---|---|---|
| Accessories that fit only the mower models the chart lists | Only with workarounds Each of 23 parts has its own list of mower models (by model name, with some entries by deck size or series), so a CPQ needs a compatibility table or dozens of per-part rules that must be re-checked whenever the chart changes. | Every part and the models it fits are facts in one model; any mower and part pairing is checked on every call. |
| A collection system that requires a drive kit | Only with care The dependency depends on which collection system is chosen and then on which drive kit fits that mower; a simple required-option rule does not check both. | The requirement and the drive kit fit are checked together, whichever line is entered first. |
| A replaced part and a serial number condition | Only with care Notes in the chart (replaced by, serial number conditions) are free text; someone has to turn each into a rule and keep it current. | Both notes are rules: a replaced part blocks, a serial number condition asks for a person to confirm it. |
| A stated capacity that must match the collection system | Only with care The stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with the capacity of the chosen part, but someone has to write and maintain that for every system. | The stated capacity travels with the order and is compared with the computed capacity on every call. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only 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. |
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.
| 1 | The collection system on the quote is listed as requiring a bagger drive kit, but the quote has none. |
| 2 | The bagger drive kit on the quote is not listed in the fit-up chart for this mower model. |
| 3 | The fit-up chart lists this bagger drive kit with a serial number condition; a person must confirm the mower serial number meets it. |
| 4 | The collection system on the quote is not listed in the fit-up chart for this mower model. |
| 5 | The operator controlled discharge cover on the quote is not listed in the fit-up chart for this mower model. |
| 6 | The mulching kit on the quote is not listed in the fit-up chart for this mower model. |
| 7 | The mulching kit part on the quote is listed in the fit-up chart as replaced by part 598390601. |
| 8 | The quote states a collection capacity of 12 bushels, but the collection system on it holds 9. |
| 9 | The quote states a collection capacity of 6 bushels, but the collection system on it holds 9. |
| 10 | The quote states a collection capacity of 9 bushels, but the collection system on it holds 12. |
