Predictika · Relocatable building rental quotes
An AI sales agent prepares a rental quote for Mobile Modular buildings: mobile offices, double-wide offices, portable classrooms or restroom buildings, with the site power and utilities, entrances, insurance, Plus add-ons, term, delivery distance and the monthly total it states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the product line and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
This validator models rental quotes for six Mobile Modular building types, not just the scenarios shown below. An asterisk marks an item that is illustrative.
Any rental quote for these building types that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: purchase and used-building sales, blast-resistant buildings, modular kitchens and dining buildings, custom modular solutions, TRS-RenTelco and Adler Tanks rentals, taxes, and local codes. The product families, the size families, the Plus add-on names and the insurance minimums come from Mobile Modular's public pages; the rates, one-time charges, size ranges and most limits are typical for this kind of product and are not published by Mobile Modular.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Site power that must match the building width, and plumbing that needs a sewer or a holding tank and water or a water tank | Only with workarounds These depend on facts about the site, not on products in the cart, and each is an either-or across several fields, so it ends up as a set of hand-written cross-field rules. | Power, voltage, water, sewer, tanks and the building are in one request and are checked together. |
| Insurance minimums and the Damage Waiver as an alternative to property insurance | Only with workarounds Insurance is a contract term, not a product, so a CPQ usually leaves it to a document or a manual check. | The minimums are checked on every call. |
| A stated monthly total that must equal rent after the term tier and discount, plus add-ons after the bundle tier | Only with care Price rules can compute the total, but a free-entry figure the agent stated has to be compared by a rule that someone writes and keeps in step with the rate card. | The stated total travels with the quote and is compared with the computed total on every call. |
| Seating capacity, entrances and an accessible ramp for every building | Only with care Each is a quantity rule per building type and size, kept up by hand as floorplans change. | Capacity, steps, ramps and the accessible flag are checked together. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only 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. |
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.
