Predictika · Commercial cooking equipment quotes: equipment, utility packages, dealer programs, electrical load, options and warranty years
An AI sales agent drafts a quote for commercial cooking equipment for a restaurant group, a hotel kitchen or a hospital. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika's validator, which checks the equipment, utility package, dealer program, connected electrical load, options, warranty term, discounts and the quoted total together, and reports every problem in one pass.
This validator checks any quote for this equipment line against the rules below, not just the scenarios shown on this page.
Any quote that touches these rules is in scope, not only the scenarios pictured here. Not checked: other products such as refrigeration, beverage or ventilation hoods, real list prices, local code or health department decisions, and tax or multi-currency quoting.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| A limit that depends on two choices | Only with care The electrical load must fit both the equipment limit and the utility package limit, so each pairing needs its own rule and a new product multiplies the list. | Both limits are computed from the catalog tables in the same request, and each finding names the item that sets it. |
| A compatibility exclusion | Only with workarounds The electric utility packages cannot supply the gas connection the gas conveyor oven needs, an exception to be remembered for every program and every quantity. | The exclusion is part of the model, so it is checked whatever else changes in the quote. |
| A minimum that depends on the program | Only with care Each dealer program has its own unit minimum and discount, so the unit count, the program and the discount all have to be checked against each other. | The program minimum is catalog data and is checked with the unit count on every call. |
| Approvals that stack | Only with care A long warranty term, a large order and a high discount each need a different approver, and a quote can trip several at once. | Every approval is returned together with the blocks, so nothing waits for the next submit. |
| A quoted total that no longer matches | Only with workarounds The total the agent states is a typed number; unless someone adds a recalculation rule it is accepted as is. | The validator computes the total and blocks a quote whose stated total does not match. |
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.
| 1 | A quantity outside 1 to 60 units is blocked. |
| 2 | A quantity below the dealer program minimum is blocked. |
| 3 | A connected electrical load above the limit of the equipment is blocked. |
| 4 | A connected electrical load above the limit of the utility package is blocked. |
| 5 | An electric utility package that cannot supply the gas connection the gas conveyor oven needs is blocked. |
| 6 | The water filtration kit on equipment that does not offer it is blocked. |
| 7 | The extended parts and labor warranty on equipment that does not offer it is blocked. |
| 8 | A warranty term outside 1 to 5 years is blocked. |
| 9 | A total discount above 20 percent is blocked. |
| 10 | A connected electrical load above 40 kilowatts needs a utility engineering review. |
| 11 | A warranty term longer than 3 years needs finance approval of the price lock. |
| 12 | More than 25 units need a project desk review. |
| 13 | A total discount above 12 percent needs sales director approval. |
| 14 | An order above USD 250,000 needs a deal desk review. |
