Predictika · Commercial laundry
An AI sales agent prepares an installation quote for Miele Professional Little Giants machines at a fictional laundry site: a PWM 508 washing machine, a PDR 508 EL vented dryer, or the two stacked, with the electrical supply, water, drain, mounting, delivery access, vent duct and the total connected load it states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the figures in the public Miele installation plans and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
This validator models the installation of one Little Giants washing machine, dryer or washer-dryer stack at a time, based on the figures in the public Miele installation plans and fact sheet, not just the scenarios shown below.
Any Little Giants installation that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Miele publishes no list prices for these machines, so this page shows no price build-up), other Miele models, programs and operating costs, and conditions on site that the installation plans do not state.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Supplies that depend on the country (14 washer and 18 dryer rows) | Only with workarounds Each country has its own list of supplies, and each supply has its own minimum cable and connected load. A rules-based CPQ needs a compatibility table or one rule per row, and every plan revision means editing them. | Country and supply arrive in one request and are matched to the listed rows on every call. |
| Total connected load the quote states | Only with care The total is derived from the chosen supplies and the machines in the order, so a rule has to recompute it and compare, and for some supplies the plan gives a range instead of a figure. | The stated load is a field in the request, compared with the computed one on every call. |
| Washer and dryer limits that depend on the variant | Only with care The DV and DP washers have different drain rules, and the replacement pump changes the limit, so the same height passes in one case and fails in another. | The variant, the height and the accessory are compared together, in any order. |
| Stacks, approvals and visits by Miele service | Only with care Some items are not errors but need a person: a service visit, a specialist calculation, a floor the plans give no load for. | Each is returned as a separate approval, apart from the blocking findings. |
| 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 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.
| 1 | The selected washer supply is not the standard for this country; Miele Customer Service or an authorized dealer must convert it, and a person should confirm that visit. |
| 2 | The washer supply cable cross-section is 1.5 square millimeters; the selected supply needs at least 2.5. |
| 3 | The selected washer electrical supply is not one the Miele installation plan lists for this country. |
| 4 | The water supply gives 9 liters a minute; the washer needs 10. |
| 5 | The water supply gives 10 liters a minute; the washer needs 11. |
| 6 | The water flow pressure is 90 kPa; the washer needs 100 to 1,000 kPa. |
| 7 | The hot water supply is 71 degrees Celsius; the washer accepts at most 70. |
| 8 | The DV washer has a drain valve and no drain pump, and the drain outlet is 200 mm above the machine base. |
| 9 | The drain outlet is 1,200 mm above the machine base; above 1,000 mm the DP washer needs the replacement drain pump accessory. |
| 10 | The DP washer pumps to at most 1,600 mm; the drain outlet is 1,700 mm above the machine base. |
| 11 | The DV washer needs a vented drain line; the line is not vented and no ventilation mounting kit is quoted. |
| 12 | The drain hose is 600 cm long; it can be extended to 500 cm at most. |
| 13 | A machine on a concrete or masonry plinth must be anchored to it; the quote has no anchoring. |
| 14 | The site plinth is 550 by 700 mm; the minimum footprint is 600 by 650 mm. |
| 15 | The site floor is rated for 2,819 N; the machine needs 2,820 N in operation. |
| 16 | The smallest opening on the delivery path is 880 mm high by 900 mm wide; the machine needs at least 900 by 605 mm without packaging. |
| 17 | The smallest opening on the delivery path is 2,000 mm high by 600 mm wide; the machine needs at least 900 by 605 mm without packaging. |
| 18 | The installation room is at 1 degree Celsius; the machines need +2 to +35. |
| 19 | The installation room is at 36 degrees Celsius; the machines need +2 to +35. |
| 20 | The side gap between machines is 19 mm; the plan requires at least 20 mm. |
