An AI sales agent's corporate smartphone plan quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a monthly quote for a business that wants a number of smartphone lines on the au Value Link Plan, with corporate and Smart Value discounts, call options and Fast Lane. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published rates and conditions and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.

Scope: au Value Link Plan corporate smartphone quotes: line charges, corporate and Smart Value discounts, low-usage discount, call options, device and combination rules. See everything this validator covers

This validator models monthly quotes for the au Value Link Plan (auバリューリンクプラン) as published on KDDI's au corporate pages, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Line charges and discounts — the published monthly charge is ¥8,008 per line (tax included). The Houjin Wari Plus corporate discount is ¥1,210 a line for 3 or more lines and ¥660 a line for 2 lines, the au Smart Value discount is ¥1,100 a line and needs an eligible internet service, and a line with 1 GB or less of use in a month gets ¥1,650 off.
  • Call options — 5-minute calls (Tsuwa Teigaku Lite 2) at ¥880 a month or unlimited calls (Tsuwa Teigaku 2) at ¥1,980 a month, one per line, added to the quote.
  • Device and combination rules — the plan is for 5G or 4G LTE smartphones, cannot be taken with 5G NET for DATA or LTE NET for DATA, needs the free data charge enrollment, au 5G Fast Lane needs a 5G SA compatible smartphone, and tethering is limited to 60 GB a month. Use beyond 200 GB a month (speed limited to 5 Mbps) goes to a person.

Any au Value Link Plan quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other au corporate plans, IoT, tablet and fixed-line services, device prices, universal service fees, the au Overseas option, the early-cancellation fee, au Starlink Direct conditions, and negotiated or volume pricing. Assumptions: the corporate discount is applied to every line when the quote has 2 or more lines, and the low-usage discount is applied to the lines the quote says will stay at or under 1 GB.

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 corporate discount that depends on the number of linesOnly with care
A price rule with a tier for 1, 2 and 3 or more lines, applied to every line. It works, but each tier is another rule to keep in step with the rate page.
The line count drives the discount, and the discount flows into the quote and the total.
A discount that needs another service on the accountOnly with workarounds
The Smart Value discount depends on an internet service that sits outside the mobile quote, so it needs a cross-service rule that interacts with the rest.
The internet service and the discounted lines are in one request and checked together.
Options that cannot exceed the number of linesOnly with care
A count of options compared with a count of lines across two line types; easy to leave out when a rep adds one more option.
Both call options are summed and compared with the lines on every call.
Plans and options that cannot be combined, and device limitsOnly with workarounds
A data plan, a device type and Fast Lane are chosen in different places, so the conflicts need cross-line rules.
Every choice is in one request, so a conflict is found whichever order the choices arrive in.
Stated totals that must equal the rate-card totalOnly with care
A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with a computed total, but the total depends on tiers, discounts and options that must be kept in step.
The stated total travels with the quote and is compared with the computed total 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 quote has 0 lines; at least 1 line is needed.
2The Houjin Wari Plus corporate discount applies to groups of 2 or more lines; the quote has 0.
3The Houjin Wari Plus corporate discount applies to groups of 2 or more lines; the quote has 1.
4The au Value Link Plan is a smartphone plan (5G or 4G LTE); a data device such as a tablet or router needs a different plan.
5The au Value Link Plan cannot be taken together with 5G NET for DATA or LTE NET for DATA.
6Enrollment in the data charge (free of charge) is required with the au Value Link Plan.
7The au Smart Value discount of ¥1,100 a month needs an eligible internet service, and the quote has none.
8The quote applies the au Smart Value discount to 6 lines but has only 5 lines.
9The quote applies the low-usage discount to 6 lines but has only 5 lines.
10The quote has 6 call option lines (5-minute plus unlimited) but only 5 lines; one call option per line.
11Au 5G Fast Lane needs a 5G SA compatible smartphone; the devices on the quote are not.
12Tethering and data sharing are limited to 60 GB a month in total; the quote plans 61 GB.
13The quote expects 201 GB a month on a line; after 200 GB a month speed is limited to a maximum of 5 Mbps, so a person should confirm the customer accepts this.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a monthly quote for a business that wants a number of smartphone lines on the au Value Link Plan. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published rates and conditions 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 the au Value Link Plan for 8 lines on 4G LTE smartphones, with the Houjin Wari Plus corporate discount. Expected use is 60 GB a month a line with up to 75 GB of tethering. The rest of the request is on screen. The quote states a monthly total of ¥60,654.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with four findings, all in one answer. The au Value Link Plan cannot be taken together with 5G NET for DATA or LTE NET for DATA. The quote has 9 call option lines (5-minute plus unlimited) but only 8 lines; one call option per line. Au 5G Fast Lane needs a 5G SA compatible smartphone; the devices on the quote are not. The other one is on screen.
  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. What this shows: for options that cannot exceed the number of lines, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the device type to 5G SA compatible smartphone and the tethering to 60 GB a month.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. Still blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. The au Value Link Plan cannot be taken together with 5G NET for DATA or LTE NET for DATA. The quote has 9 call option lines (5-minute plus unlimited) but only 8 lines; one call option per line.
  12. Two findings cleared. Still blocking: not combinable with 5G NET for DATA and more call options than lines.
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
  14. The revised request. It changes the lines with 5-minute call option to 4, the with 5G NET for DATA or LTE NET for DATA to no and the stated monthly total to ¥59,774.
  15. It calls the validator once more.
  16. This time the validator clears it.
  17. The validator also returns the line-item quote. It starts with au Value Link Plan and Call option: 5-minute calls (Tsuwa Teigaku Lite 2); the other four lines are on screen.
  18. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
  19. 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.
