An AI sales agent's undercounter warewasher order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for an undercounter dishwasher or glasswasher: the model, electrical supply, base, options, the kitchen's water and counter opening, and the figures it states to the customer. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published specification sheet and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: M-iClean U undercounter warewashers (US, UM and UM+ with the optional GiO module): electrical supply, bases, plug kit, drain board, water supply, rated capacity and installed height. See everything this validator covers

This validator models M-iClean U orders as published on the MEIKO USA specification sheet, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Electrical supply — 208-230 V, 60 Hz, single- or three-phase, with the supply and disconnect size the sheet gives for each model and phase; a stated breaker size is compared with it. The NEMA plug kit is available for the UM and UM+ on three-phase supply only.
  • Bases and options — the cabinet bases and the drain board top are listed for the UM and UM+ only. The installed height (machine plus base) is compared with the opening under the counter and with any height the quote states.
  • Water and capacity — incoming water pressure within the sheet's range; the GiO (reverse osmosis) module needs a separate concentrate drain, water hardness of 1 to 20 grains per US gallon and a higher minimum pressure, and rates 23 racks per hour instead of 37. The GiO module is listed with the UM; with the US or UM+ it goes to a person to confirm.

Any M-iClean U order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (MEIKO does not publish a price list for these machines, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), the ComfortAir heat recovery option and other product lines, dosing equipment, and installation details such as drain heights and clearances beyond the counter opening.

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 exist only on some modelsOnly with care
A product rule per option and model. It works, but the US, UM and UM+ differ in bases, drain board and plug kit, so each exception is another rule to maintain.		The model, phase and every option are in one request and every pairing is checked together.
Installed height against the counter openingOnly with care
A calculation of machine height plus base height, compared with a figure the rep enters; doable, but kept in step with the sheet by hand.		The height is computed on every call and compared with the opening and with any height the quote states.
Water conditions that change with the GiO moduleOnly with workarounds
Pressure, hardness, drain and capacity limits all change when the module is added, so each needs its own conditional rule.		The module switches the limits and the rated capacity together, and all of them are checked in one pass.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as a step 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: findings from its test cases
Click to expand
    
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 specification sheet lists the GiO module only with the UM; a person should confirm it with MEIKO for this model.
2The water hardness is 25 grains per US gallon; the GiO module needs 1 to 20.
3The GiO module needs a separate reverse-osmosis concentrate drain in addition to the machine drain, and the site has not confirmed one.
4The incoming water pressure is 12 psi; this configuration needs at least 14.5 psi and at most 72.5 psi.
5The incoming water pressure is 80 psi; this configuration needs at least 8.7 psi and at most 72.5 psi.
6The incoming water pressure is 8 psi; this configuration needs at least 8.7 psi and at most 72.5 psi.
7For the UM and UM+ the NEMA plug kit is listed for three-phase supply only.
8The cabinet bases are listed for the UM and UM+ only, not for the US.
9The drain board top is listed for the UM and UM+ only, not for the US.
10The kitchen needs 40 racks per hour; this configuration is rated for 37.
11The kitchen needs 30 racks per hour; this configuration is rated for 23.
12The opening under the counter is 40 inches; the machine with its base stands 44.5 inches high.
13The opening under the counter is 38 inches; the machine with its base stands 39.5 inches high.
14The quote states a 60 A supply and disconnect; the specification sheet gives 50 A for this machine and phase.
15The quote states 37 racks per hour; the specification sheet rates this configuration at 23.
16The site supply is 480 volts; the specification sheet lists 208-230 V, 60 Hz.
17The quote states a height of 28.75 inches; the machine with its base stands 34.75 inches.

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 an undercounter dishwasher or glasswasher: the model, electrical supply, base, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published specification sheet 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 a MEIKO M-iClean US undercounter warewasher with the GiO module on three-phase supply at 208 volts, with no base. The quote states a 40 A supply and disconnect, 37 racks per hour and a height of 28.75 inches. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with four findings and one approval, all in one answer. The water hardness is 24 grains per US gallon; the GiO module needs 1 to 20. The GiO module needs a separate reverse-osmosis concentrate drain in addition to the machine drain, and the site has not confirmed one. The kitchen needs 30 racks per hour; this configuration is rated for 23. The other one is on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned four blocking findings and one approval 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 water conditions that change with the GiO module, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the model to M-iClean UM, the separate concentrate drain on site to yes, the stated supply and disconnect to 50 A and the stated racks per hour to 23.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. The water hardness is 24 grains per US gallon; the GiO module needs 1 to 20. The kitchen needs 30 racks per hour; this configuration is rated for 23.
    12. 
      
  12. Three findings cleared. Still blocking: water hardness outside the GiO range and racks per hour needed exceed capacity.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the water hardness to 12 grains per gallon and the racks per hour needed to 20.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. Both earlier findings are cleared.
    18. 
      
  18. Five problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, 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.
    19.
