Predictika · Height-adjustable table orders

An AI sales agent's Toggle table order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for KI Toggle height-adjustable tables: a top shape, depth, width and edge on a T-leg, C-leg or 3-leg base, with a switch, presets, accessories, a need date and a quoted total. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the product and returns a verdict, every reason and the total it computed.

Scope: KI Toggle tables: three top shapes, three bases, adjustable or fixed height, switches, presets, accessories, load, lead time and warranty, with modeled widths and prices. See everything this validator covers

This validator models KI Toggle table orders, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Tops and bases — rectangular, 120 degree corner and square shoe tops, which base each is supplied on, the depths offered, edges, materials, and base-only orders for an existing worksurface.
  • Height, motors and switches — the 26 to 52 inch adjustable range, fixed-height tables, the motors on each base, standard and deluxe switches and up to four presets.
  • Load, lead time, warranty and total — load capacity, the standard lead time against the need date, the warranty, the 30-day quote validity, discount limits and the stated total against the computed one.

Any KI Toggle table order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Shapes, depths, bases, motors, height range, edges, switches, warranty and lead times follow the public KI Toggle page; widths, materials, load capacities, commercial thresholds and all prices are modeled from comparable products, not published by KI. Not covered: other KI products and installation.

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 top that is supplied only on certain basesOnly with care
Each shape needs a rule naming its base, and every new shape or base adds rules in both directions.		The top and base are fields of one request and are checked together on every call.
Fixed-height and adjustable tables share optionsOnly with care
Switches, presets, motors and the height range apply to adjustable tables only, so each needs a rule that looks at the height type.		The height type, switch, presets and range are checked together on every call.
A load limit that depends on the baseOnly with care
The capacity differs by base and height type, so a rule must look it up before it compares the load.		The capacity is computed for the chosen base and compared with the load on every call.
Stated figures that must match the configurationOnly with workarounds
Motors, warranty and total are all derived from the configuration, so separate rules recompute each and compare it with the stated figure.		The stated motors, warranty and total are fields of the request and are compared with the computed values on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly 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.

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 KI Toggle height-adjustable tables: a top shape, depth, width and edge on a T-leg, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the product and returns a verdict, every reason and the total it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote 4 adjustable Toggle tables with a square shoe top, 60 inches wide and 36 inches deep, on a T-leg base. The quote states 2 motors per table, a 5-year warranty and a total of 4,880 dollars, valid for 30 days. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with six findings, all in one answer. A 36 inch deep top is not offered for this shape; rectangular tops come in 24, 30 or 36 inches, square shoe in 24 or 30, and the 120 degree corner in 30. The square shoe top is supplied on the 3-leg base, and rectangular and 120 degree corner tops on a T-leg or C-leg base; the base on the quote does not match the top. The lowest working height on the quote is 24 inches; the adjustable range starts at 26 inches. The other three are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned six 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 a top that is supplied only on certain bases, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the depth to 30 inches, the base to 3-leg, the height range to 26 to 52, the switch to deluxe, the needed in to 8 weeks, the stated motors to 3, the stated warranty to 10 and the stated total to 5,940 dollars.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All six earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. Six 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.
