Predictika · Patient monitor configuration
An AI sales agent prepares a configuration quote for patient monitors: the region, the handheld, the measurement modules, the connectivity options, the early warning score, the service plan, 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 configuration rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the total it computed.
This validator models configurations of this kind, not just the scenarios shown below.
Any configuration that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. The product names, the three MOC-9 ports and the early warning score restriction in Canada follow public Masimo information; every price, the dependency rules, the service plan, and the discount and volume thresholds are modeled from comparable patient monitors and not published by Masimo, so the amounts on this page are illustrative. Not covered: other Masimo product lines and accessories.

What this means
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 caught | Typical rules-based CPQ | Predictika |
|---|---|---|
| Options that depend on other options | Only with workarounds Rainbow parameters need a handheld, Patient SafetyNet and EMR need the Iris Gateway, Replica needs Patient SafetyNet and the early warning score needs the blood pressure option. | Every dependency is evaluated on every call, whatever order the options were chosen in. |
| A hardware limit shared by several modules | Only with care Four different modules compete for three ports, so the count must be taken across all of them. | The ports used are counted across every module on each call and compared with three. |
| Region and service rules | Only with care The early warning score is not licensed in Canada, and standard service covers one year only. | The region, the service plan and the years are checked together. |
| Discounts, volume and approvals | Only with care A discount above 15 percent, an order of 50 monitors or more and a long extended plan each go to a person, and a discount above 30 percent is refused. | Each level is compared on every call and every approval is listed. |
| A total built from many parts | Only with workarounds The total depends on the options, the quantity, the discount and the extended service years, so it must be computed before it can be compared with the total stated. | The total is computed on every call and compared with the total stated in the quote. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only with workarounds Rules tend to fire as a step is saved or completed, so a person 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.
