An AI sales agent's production tree order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for an Innovex Production Tree from the public product one-pager: pressure rating, tubing size, adaptor top flange, temperature range, product specification level, trim and valve options. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the one-pager's published ranges and returns a verdict, every reason and anything a person must confirm.

Scope: Innovex Production Tree orders: pressure rating, tubing size, adaptor top flange, temperature range, PSL, trim level and the access options offered on request. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for the Innovex Production Tree as described on the public one-pager (REV February 2025), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Published ranges — pressure rating 2,000 to 15,000 PSI, tubing size 2 3/8 to 7 inch, adaptor top flange 2 1/16 to 7 inch, temperature from -75 F (class K) to +250 F (class U), and PSL 1, 2 or 3.
  • Trim and special order — trim levels AA to EE are offered; FF and HH are special order, so they go to a person to confirm.
  • Options — standard or premium tubing threads, expanding or slab gate valves, pneumatic or hydraulic safety valves, a flow tee or studded cross and instrumentation flanges are accepted; access for control lines, data lines and sub-surface safety valves is available upon request, so it goes to a person to confirm.

Any Production Tree order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Innovex publishes none, so this validator produces no price build-up), other Innovex wellheads such as the pumping and drilling lines, and well design, material or compatibility questions the one-pager does not state. Assumptions: the one-pager gives ranges, not a list of pressure ratings or tubing sizes, so any value inside a range is accepted; no rule ties a pressure rating to a tubing or flange size because the one-pager states none; the temperature classes are read as -75 F (K) and +250 F (U) from the text.

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
Ranges from a product data sheetEasy
A handful of minimum and maximum checks; any CPQ can hold these.		The same ranges are checked with every other rule on every call.
Options that are only available on requestOnly with workarounds
Rules know pass or fail; an option that exists on special order or upon request has to be built as a special case.		It goes to a person as needs approval, neither passed nor blocked.
Several problems in one orderOnly 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.

  

  

    
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 Production Tree is offered for pressure ratings from 2,000 PSI to 15,000 PSI; the order is outside that range.
2The Production Tree is offered for tubing sizes from 2 3/8 inch to 7 inch; the order is outside that range.
3The adaptor top flange is offered in sizes from 2 1/16 inch to 7 inch; the order is outside that range.
4The Production Tree covers temperatures from -75 F (class K) to +250 F (class U); the order is outside that range or its minimum is above its maximum.
5The Production Tree is offered at PSL 1, 2 and 3; the order asks for another level.
6Trim levels FF and HH are offered only on special order; a person should confirm availability with Innovex.
7Access for control lines, data lines and sub-surface safety valves is available upon request; a person should confirm it with Innovex.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for an Innovex Production Tree from the public product one-pager: pressure rating, tubing size, adaptor top flange, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the one-pager's published ranges and returns a verdict, every reason and anything a person must confirm.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote an Innovex Production Tree for 3 1/2 inch tubing, rated for 5,000 PSI, with an adaptor top flange of 7 1/2 inch. It is ready to send. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with two findings and two approvals, all in one answer. The adaptor top flange is offered in sizes from 2 1/16 inch to 7 inch; the order is outside that range. The Production Tree covers temperatures from -75 F (class K) to +250 F (class U); the order is outside that range or its minimum is above its maximum.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned two blocking findings and two approvals 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 options that are only available on request, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the adaptor top flange to 4 7/16 inch and the minimum temperature to -75 F.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Not blocked, but held for a person.
    12. 
      
  12. The two blocking findings are cleared; two approvals remain for a person: trim level on special order and access options on request.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the trim level to EE. It removes the access for control lines.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. Both earlier findings are cleared.
    18. 
      
  18. Four problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, 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.
