An AI sales agent's contamination monitor configuration, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a configuration for a personnel contamination monitor with a detector type, a door or barrier, small item monitors, a frisker, calibration and gamma options and accessories. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published ordering notes and returns a verdict and every reason.

Scope: Argos-3 and Argos-5 personnel contamination monitors (AB, PB, PAB and PBG detector types): front curtains, doors and barriers, small item monitors, friskers, calibration fixtures, moveable head detectors, AccuRate, Zeus and accessories. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Argos-3 and Argos-5 configurations as described in the public Mirion Contamination Monitor Configuration Guide (read October 6, 2026), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Detector type — small item monitors, friskers, calibration fixtures and moveable head detectors are each built for specific detector types (for example the gas regulators are for the AB gas-flow monitors only); a mismatch is blocked.
  • Front curtain and lead kit — the PBG monitors and the Zeus gamma option require the CURTAINPB front curtain lead kit; a sliding door or an electric barrier needs the 816614 front curtain unless Zeus is ordered at the same time.
  • Mutually exclusive options — a side-mounted small item monitor excludes entrance doors, and the side-mount second display and keyboard kit excludes a sliding door, a frisker or a side-mounted small item monitor on the same side.
  • AccuRate and head detectors — the AccuRate-PBG options are for PBG monitors, the AccuRate-ZEUS options need Zeus on an AB, PB or PAB monitor, the moveable head versions need a head detector, and an Argos-3 needs an additional head detector.
  • Items for a person to confirm — a floor mounting kit (the guide says to consult the factory for seismic analysis) and a card reader with no ID card sample recorded (Mirion recommends sending a sample to the factory).

Any Argos-3 or Argos-5 configuration that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the guide gives none, so this validator produces no price build-up), the Sirius-5, GEM-5 and Cronos monitors, software and database options, shielding for other monitors, and the detector counts per model.

The AI sales agentBuilds the monitor configuration from the conversation and says it is ready.

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 built for specific detector typesOnly with care
A product rule per option and detector type; it works, but each new option adds rules that must be kept in step with the guide.		The detector type and every option are in one request and each compatibility is checked on every call.
Parts that must come together, such as a lead kit with a gamma optionOnly with care
A requires rule per pairing, and the exception when Zeus is ordered at the same time adds another condition.		The monitor, the gamma option, the door or barrier and both curtain kits are compared together on every call.
Options that exclude each other on the same sideOnly with workarounds
Exclusions that depend on which side of the monitor an item is on need extra attributes and rules that interact with each other.		All the entrance-side choices are in one request and the conflicts are returned together.
A customer ID card to confirm before a reader is orderedOnly with workarounds
A recommendation that depends on a step outside the quote is usually left to a manual check.		A reader with no sample recorded comes back as an item for a person to confirm, in the same answer.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the configuration 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.

  

  

    
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 chosen small item monitor is built for a different detector type than the one on this Argos monitor.
2A side-mounted small item monitor is mutually exclusive with entrance doors.
3The side-mount second display and keyboard kit is mutually exclusive on the same side with a sliding door, a frisker or a side-mounted small item monitor.
4The chosen frisker is built for a different detector type than the one on this Argos monitor.
5The gas regulators are for the gas-flow AB monitors only.
6The chosen calibration fixture is for a different detector type; the LFP fixture is for AB monitors and the TPS fixture for the PB, PAB and PBG monitors.
7The moveable head detector type does not match the monitor; the gas-flow one is for AB monitors and the gasless one for PB, PAB and PBG monitors.
8An Argos-3 with a moveable head detector needs an additional head detector of the same type as the rest of the system.
9The PBG monitors and the Zeus gamma option require the CURTAINPB front curtain lead kit.
10A sliding door or an electric barrier needs the 816614 front curtain unless the Zeus gamma option is ordered at the same time.
11The AccuRate-PBG options are for the PBG monitors only.
12The AccuRate-ZEUS options need the Zeus gamma option and are for the AB, PB and PAB monitors, not the PBG.
13The AccuRate moveable head versions need a moveable head detector ordered at the same time.
14The floor mounting kit comes with the note to consult the factory for seismic analysis, so a person should confirm it before the quote goes out.
15Mirion recommends sending a sample of the customer ID card to the factory to confirm reader compatibility, and no sample is recorded, so a person should confirm it.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a configuration for a personnel contamination monitor with a detector type, a door or barrier. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published ordering notes and returns a verdict and every reason.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please configure an Argos-5PBG personnel contamination monitor with an entrance sliding door (817007), a side-mounted beta/gamma small item monitor (Argos-SIMPBG) and the side-mount second display and keyboard kit (7063217). It is ready to send.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with four findings, all in one answer. A side-mounted small item monitor is mutually exclusive with entrance doors. The side-mount second display and keyboard kit is mutually exclusive on the same side with a sliding door, a frisker or a side-mounted small item monitor. The PBG monitors and the Zeus gamma option require the CURTAINPB front curtain lead kit. The other one is on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned four blocking findings 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 parts that must come together, such as a lead kit with a gamma option, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the sliding door to exit sliding door. It sets the CURTAINPB front curtain lead kit to yes and the front curtain to yes. It removes the side-mount second display and keyboard kit.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All four earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. Four problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, 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.
