An AI sales agent's fire-rated door package quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a fire-rated door package quote for a fictional customer. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika’s validator, which checks it against the product and contract rules, compares the net total the agent states with the one it computes, and returns a verdict with every reason.

Scope: fire-rated door package quotes for the Fire-Rated Door Packages product line. See everything this validator covers

This validator models JELD-WEN style fire-rated commercial door package quotes: four door types, three hardware prep packages and three dealer programs, the number of doors, the fire rating in minutes, the astragal and closer prep and extended finish and hardware warranty options, the warranty term in years and discounts. It handles any quote made of these doors, prep packages and programs, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Doors and hardware prep — A solid core wood door, an insulated steel door, a fiberglass door and a glass-lite fire-rated door, with basic, standard mortise or fire-rated frame and hardware prep. The basic and standard prep cannot support the listed glazing frame the glass-lite door needs.
  • Fire rating — The fire rating in minutes must be within the limit of the door and the limit of the hardware prep, and above 60 it needs a fire code review.
  • Options and dealer programs — Astragal and closer prep and the extended finish and hardware warranty are only available on the door types that offer them. Standard, contractor and multifamily project dealer programs each have their own door minimum and discount.
  • Term and order size — A warranty term of 1 to 5 years, with a finance review above 3 years. An order is limited to 500 doors and above 150 doors it needs a project desk review.
  • Discounts and order value — Program, volume and extra discounts add up: a rep can give up to 12 percent in total, a sales director must approve above that, and 20 percent is the limit. An order above USD 100,000 needs a deal desk review.
  • The stated net total — A check that the net total the agent states matches the contract value the validator computes.

It does not cover other JELD-WEN products such as windows, interior molded doors or garage doors, real list prices, local fire code or listing decisions, or tax and multi-currency quoting.

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 or Revenue Cloud) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

    
What the validator catchesTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Door and hardware prep compatibilityOnly with workarounds
A pairwise compatibility between two catalogs usually becomes one rule per combination.		Compatibility is a property of the door and the hardware prep, checked on every call.
Fire rating against two limitsOnly with care
A number that must fit both a door limit and a hardware prep limit spans several validation rules.		Both limits and the review band are evaluated together.
Options by door typeOnly with care
Option rules per door type, extended for every new type or option.		The door type lists which options it offers; the check follows from the choices.
Discount stacking and approval bandsOnly with workarounds
Program, volume and extra discounts add up across rules and approval levels, and the total is rarely checked in one place.		The discounts are added once and compared with both the rep authority and the limit.
The total the agent statesOnly with workarounds
Comparing a stated total with a computed one means a separate rule per quote layout, and price rules rarely run on stated figures.		The stated net total is a field in the request and is checked against the computed total.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the quote is saved, 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 whatever order the choices arrive, and one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a fire-rated door package quote for a fictional customer. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika’s validator, which checks it against the product and contract rules, compares the net total the agent states with the one it computes, and returns a verdict with every reason.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. The solid core wood door with the standard mortise hardware prep for 20 doors on the standard dealer program, fire rating 20 minutes, 2 years warranty. Net total USD 22,190.40. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. The quoted net total of USD 22190.4 does not match the USD 24656.0 the validator computed.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned one blocking finding 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 and against the stated total.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for the total the agent states, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the stated net as to 24,656.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. The validator also returns the line-item quote. It starts with Solid core wood door and Standard mortise hardware prep; the other line is on screen.
    13. 
      
  13. The earlier finding is cleared, and the validator's total, USD 24,656, matches the quote.
    14. 
      
  14. One problem 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.
