An AI sales agent's ICU bed order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for intensive care beds for a hospital: the version with or without scales, the undercarriage and castors, the accessories such as a traction frame, the bed exit alarm, the lateral tilt the care plan needs for the patient, the mains supply and the room. Before the order goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public LINET Multicare X instructions for use and technical description and returns a verdict, every reason and the document figures it read.

Scope: LINET Multicare X positionable ICU bed, as described in its public instructions for use and technical description (version with scales, variants, accessories, limits). See everything this validator covers

This validator models an order for a LINET Multicare X bed, based on the public “Multicare X Instructions for Use and Technical Description” (D9U001MCX-0101, version 06), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Mains supply — the technical description lists 230, 127, 120, 110 and 100 V; the document says LINET can deliver other electrical specifications on request, so any other supply is sent for a person to confirm.
  • Patient weight and lateral tilt — the bed lists a maximum patient weight of 185 kg and a lateral tilt up to 30 degrees, with a working load that falls as the angle grows (250 kg to 5 degrees, down to 150 kg at 30 degrees). The patient's weight is compared with the load for the tilt the care plan needs.
  • Bed exit alarm — monitoring comes only with the version with scales, and cannot be activated below 35 kg, which is sent for a person to confirm.
  • Traction frames — Traction Frame M and Kinetec T41 fit only a bed with the Adaptor for Traction Frames.
  • Castors and i-Drive Power — the castor sets list the retractable fifth castor or i-Drive Power, not both, so a quote with both goes to a person; i-Drive Power is not designed for a slope over 6 degrees (the 20 m route length limit is not checked).
  • Room and mattress — the room temperature (10 to 40 degrees C) and humidity (30 to 75 percent) for use, and a customer mattress up to 214 x 87.5 x 23 cm.
  • Stated figures — if the order states the safe working load or the maximum patient weight, each is compared with the listed 250 kg and 185 kg.

Any order for the Multicare X that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the document has none, so this page shows no price build-up), other LINET beds, the full option and accessory catalogue, software and service options, and availability. The model reflects the document read; a later version is not checked.

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 working load that falls as the lateral tilt growsOnly with workarounds
The same bed carries 250 kg flat and 150 kg at a 30 degree tilt, in steps, so the patient weight has to be compared with a table keyed on the angle.		The tilt angle selects the listed load and the patient weight is compared with it on every call.
Accessories that need other partsOnly with care
A traction frame fits only a bed with its adaptor, and bed exit monitoring needs the version with scales. It is usually left to the sales person to remember.		Each accessory is checked against the parts it depends on on every call.
Castor sets that list one option, not twoOnly with care
The fifth castor and i-Drive Power are listed as separate sets, and a route steeper than 6 degrees rules out i-Drive Power.		The castor choice and the route slope are checked together.
Limits for the room and the customer's own mattressOnly with care
Temperature, humidity and mattress size each have a range in the technical description and are easy to pass on a quick read.		Every range is checked against its listed limits 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 person 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

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 technical description lists mains supplies of 230, 127, 120, 110 and 100 V and says LINET can deliver other electrical specifications on request; the quote has 208 V, so a person should confirm it with LINET.
2The technical description lists mains supplies of 230, 127, 120, 110 and 100 V and says LINET can deliver other electrical specifications on request; the quote has 240 V, so a person should confirm it with LINET.
3The patient weighs 186 kg; the technical description lists 185 kg as the maximum patient weight.
4For a lateral tilt of 20 degrees the technical description lists a load of 170.0 kg; the patient weighs 171 kg.

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 intensive care beds for a hospital: the version with or without scales, the undercarriage and castors, the accessories such as a traction frame, and more. Before the order goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public LINET Multicare X instructions for use and technical description and returns a verdict, every reason and the document figures it read.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please order a LINET Multicare X ICU bed for Elmbrook Regional Hospital: the version without scales with the standard undercarriage and single castors, on a 230 V supply. It includes bed exit alarm monitoring and Traction Frame M. 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. Bed exit alarm monitoring comes only with the version with scales; the quote has no scales. The traction frames fit only a bed with the adaptor for traction frames; the quote has a different undercarriage.
    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.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for accessories that need other parts, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the version to with scales and the undercarriage to with traction frame adaptor.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. Both earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. 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. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    14.
