Predictika · Hotel group and meeting quotes

An AI sales agent's group meeting quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a group room block and meeting quote for a Hyatt brand hotel, booked as an instant group booking or through a sales RFP, on a standard or short-form contract. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the booking channels and group terms and returns a verdict, every reason and the room nights and room revenue it computed.

Scope: Hyatt group room blocks and meetings across nine brands, by booking channel and contract form, with attrition, cutoff, food and beverage, rate, credit and World of Hyatt bonus points. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Hyatt group meeting quotes, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Channel and contract — an instant group booking, modeled for 10 to 30 rooms, against a sales RFP, and the short-form contract, modeled for blocks of up to 30 rooms, against the standard group contract.
  • Brand limits — nine brands from Park Hyatt and Andaz to Hyatt Place and Hyatt House, each with a modeled capacity, a food and beverage minimum and a group rate floor, and a 10-room peak-night minimum at Hyatt Place and Hyatt House.
  • Group terms — complimentary rooms against room nights, the attrition allowance, the cutoff date, the master-bill credit, World of Hyatt bonus points and the group rate.
  • Stated figures — the room nights and the room revenue the quote states against the figures computed from the block.

Any Hyatt group meeting quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: transient bookings, loyalty terms beyond the bonus points, and each property's own contract. The brand names, the 10-room minimum at Hyatt Place and Hyatt House, and the short-form contract, master-bill credit and bonus-point offer come from public Hyatt material; the booking-channel and block limits, capacities, comp ratio, attrition and cutoff limits, approval thresholds and the group rate floors (which are illustrative prices) are modeled, not published by Hyatt.

Predictika validatorChecks every rule at once and returns the verdict, each finding, and the computed figures.

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
Booking channels and contract forms with their own limitsOnly with care
Instant booking and the short-form contract each need their own block-size rule that applies only when that option is chosen.		The channel and the contract are fields of the request, so each limit is checked only when it applies, on every call.
Limits that depend on the brandOnly with care
Capacity, food and beverage minimum and rate floor are a table by brand, and the table has to be maintained beside every rule.		The brand and the group terms are in one request and checked against the brand table on every call.
Terms with a block range and an approval rangeOnly with care
Attrition, cutoff, credit and bonus points each need one rule for the hard limit and another for the approval range.		Each term is a field of the request, and both ranges are checked together on every call.
Stated figures that must match the computed figuresOnly with workarounds
Room nights and room revenue are built from the block, so a separate rule is needed to recompute each and compare it with the stated figure.		The stated figures are fields of the request and are compared with the computed figures on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as a 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.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a group room block and meeting quote for a Hyatt brand hotel, booked as an instant group booking or through a sales RFP. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the booking channels and group terms and returns a verdict, every reason and the room nights and room revenue it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote an instant group booking at Hyatt Regency on the short-form contract: 45 rooms at peak for 3 nights. The quote states 135 room nights and room revenue of $16,200. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with four findings, all in one answer. An instant group booking is modeled for 10 to 30 rooms at peak; the quote has 45 rooms. Send a sales Request for Proposal instead. The short-form contract is modeled for blocks of up to 30 rooms at peak; the quote has 45. Use the standard group contract. An attrition allowance of 25 percent is over the 20 percent maximum used in this model. The other one is on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned four 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. 
      
  7. What this shows: for booking channels and contract forms with their own limits, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the booking channel to Sales RFP, the contract to standard group contract, the group rate to $210, the attrition allowance to 10 percent and the stated room revenue to $28,350.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All four earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. Four 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.
    14.
