Predictika · Manufactured home orders

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

An AI sales agent prepares a manufactured home quote for a retailer, a company-owned store or a community owner: the floor plan, the options, the delivery state and distance, the financing, the discount, and the total it states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the order and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Legacy Housing manufactured home orders: fourteen floor plans across the Classic, Heritage, Select, Workforce Housing*, Tiny House* and Modular* lines. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for the Legacy floor plans below, not just the scenarios shown. An asterisk marks an item that is illustrative.

  • Floor plans — Classic C-32x52-32D and C-32x64-32C; Heritage H-16x72-32C, H-18x72-32A and H-32x72-43A; Select S-12x34-31A, S-12x36-11FLA, S-12x56-21A, S-16x64-32C, S-24x48-22FLP and S-28x56-32FLP; and three illustrative plans: Workforce Housing* 16x76, Tiny House* 12x30 and Modular* 32x76.
  • Options — fireplace, central air conditioning, mini-split, wood cabinetry, a porch* and skirting*, each with its own plan limits.
  • Delivery — destination state (Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Louisiana or North Carolina), distance, sections per home and set-up*.
  • Sales channel and financing — independent retailer, company-owned store or community owner; cash, a consumer chattel loan or community financing.
  • Commercial — price by series, volume discount for community owners, discount authority, and approval thresholds for stock orders, long deliveries, prices outside the usual range and large orders.

Any order for these plans that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: the other Legacy plans, land, taxes and the retailer's own fees. The plan codes, the Classic and Select series names, the options, tiny house facts, price range, channels, states and financing products come from public sources; floor areas, prices, delivery rates and most rules are typical for manufactured homes and are not published by Legacy Housing.

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
Options that only some plans allow, such as no fireplace on a tiny house and one cooling system per homeOnly with care
Option-to-plan compatibility tables that grow with every plan and series.		Plan and options are checked together on every call.
Plans that can only ship to certain states, such as modular homes to Texas or GeorgiaOnly with workarounds
A destination rule per series, kept in step with where each plant can build.		Plan, series and destination are in one request and are checked together.
Financing that depends on the home, the channel and the size of the orderOnly with workarounds
Loan terms, down payment, tiny house exclusions and community-only products are cross-field conditions that end up as hand-written rules.		Financing, channel, plan and order size are checked together.
A stated total that must equal price, options, delivery and set-up less discounts, times the homesOnly with care
Price rules can compute it, but the figure the agent stated has to be compared by a rule someone writes and keeps 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

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a manufactured home quote for a retailer, a company-owned store or a community owner: the floor plan, the options, the delivery state and distance, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the order and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote one Tiny House* 12x30 home (about 360 square feet, 12 by 30 feet) for an independent retailer, delivered 180 miles to Texas. The quote states a total of $55,700. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. Tiny houses are cooled with a mini-split; central air conditioning is not offered. Tiny houses are not built to HUD standards and carry no warranty; the quote includes the one-year limited warranty. A chattel loan is not modeled for tiny houses, which are not built to HUD standards.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned three 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 options that only some plans allow, such as no fireplace on a tiny house and one cooling system per home, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the financing to cash, the warranty to none, the options to a mini-split, a porch* and the stated total to $54,500. It removes the down payment and loan term.
    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 Tiny House* 12x30 and Mini-split; the other three lines are on screen.
    13. 
      
  13. All three earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, $54,500, matches the quote.
    14. 
      
  14. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean $54,500 quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
