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

An AI sales agent prepares a KONE MonoSpace or MiniSpace elevator quote for a fictional customer. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika’s validator, which checks it against the product, code and contract rules, compares the total and group handling capacity the agent states with the ones it computes, and returns a verdict with every reason.

Scope: KONE MonoSpace and MiniSpace passenger elevator quotes. See everything this validator covers

This validator models passenger elevator quotes in the style of KONE for new installations in euros. It handles any quote made of these models, car sizes, options and KONE Care terms, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Elevator models and car sizes — KONE MonoSpace 300, 500 and 700 (machine-room-less) and the machine-room MiniSpace DX passenger elevators, each with the car sizes and rated loads they offer, checked against the model load, speed, travel and stop limits.
  • Code, accessibility and building rules — EN 81-70 accessibility car types, the hospital stretcher car depth, door width and door fit by door type, pit depth by speed band with a reduced-pit approval band, five-minute handling capacity against building population, groups of 1 to 8 elevators, and the EN 81-72 firefighters lift.
  • KONE Care, discounts and delivery — KONE Care Standard and Premium with Connected Services and their terms, discount limits by group size with a sales-rep approval threshold, and the lead time against the date the customer needs the elevators.
  • Line-item quote and stated figures — A line-item quote that reconciles to the total, and a check that the total and the group handling capacity the agent states match what the validator computes.

It does not cover escalators, moving walks, modernization of existing elevators, other elevator brands, real KONE list prices, or site engineering beyond the checks listed.

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
Handling capacityOnly with workarounds
Capacity is computed from the car load, travel, speed and stops and compared with a population share, which usually means rules over helper tables.		The figure is computed from the four choices and checked against the building on every call.
Pit depthOnly with care
A pit that is an approval in one band and a block in the next is usually two rules that are easy to leave out of step.		One band rule gives an approval up to 300 mm short and a block beyond it.
Firefighters liftOnly with care
A rule that combines car size, depth and the top-floor time touches several fields at once.		The conditions are evaluated together with the speed and travel.
Discount authority by group sizeOnly with care
Approval thresholds that change with group size tend to be spread across approval rules.		The limit follows the group size, and a figure above the rep authority becomes an approval item.
The total and capacity the agent statesOnly with workarounds
Comparing a stated figure with a computed one needs a separate rule for each quote layout, and price rules rarely run on stated figures.		Both figures are fields in the request and are checked against the computed values.
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.

  

  

    
What this validator catches
Click to expand
    
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.

    
RuleEffectWhat it checks
Car loadblockThe car rated load must not exceed the maximum of the elevator model.
SpeedblockThe rated speed must not exceed the model maximum.
Travel and stopsblockTravel height and number of stops must fit the model range.
Machine roomblockThe MiniSpace DX needs a machine room; the MonoSpace models do not.
Recommended speedneeds approvalA speed below the recommendation for the travel height needs traffic consultant sign-off.

  • Delivery lead time. Lead time 12 weeks exceeds the 10 weeks allowed.
    • 
    

    
4. Office elevators: doors and delivery date: 900 mm doors, 16 weeks

    
The agent's request. Please quote 2 KONE MonoSpace 500 elevators with the 1000 kg car (1100 x 2100 mm) for an office building: 10 stops on 3.5 m floors, 1.6 m/s, 900 mm center-opening doors, a 1400 mm pit, KONE Care Standard with Connected Services for 5 years, a 5 percent discount, and delivery within 16 weeks.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a KONE MonoSpace or MiniSpace elevator quote for a fictional customer. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika’s validator, which checks it against the product, code and contract rules, compares the total and group handling capacity the agent states with the ones 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. Please quote 2 KONE MonoSpace 500 elevators. The quote states a total of EUR 152,380 and a group handling capacity of 108 persons per 5 minutes. 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, all in one answer. A hospital lift needs a stretcher car at least 2100 mm deep; car is 1400 mm. Stated total does not match: the agent stated EUR 152380.0; the validator computes EUR 160400.0.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned two 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 and against the stated total.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for the total and capacity 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 car to 2000 kg 1500x2700, the stated total as to 169400 and the stated HC as to 166.
    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 KONE MonoSpace 500 and Car; the other two lines are on screen.
    13. 
      
  13. Both earlier findings are cleared.
    14. 
      
  14. Two 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.
    15.
