Predictika · Custom procedure tray quotes

An AI sales agent's procedure tray quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a custom orthopaedic procedure tray: the procedure, the gloves, gown, dressing, stapler and smoke pencil, the pulsed lavage system and its power supply region, bone wax, the number of trays, the discount and the total it states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the tray rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the total it computed.

Scope: Custom orthopaedic procedure trays for knee arthroscopy, hip and shoulder beach chair, built from Molnlycke drapes, gowns, gloves, dressings, staplers, smoke pencils and lavage systems, with tray minimums, discount approval and the stated total. See everything this validator covers

This validator models quotes of this kind, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Procedure and components — the hip tray needs a gown and a large dressing, the knee arthroscopy tray has no lavage system or smoke pencil, the PlumePen Elite goes only in the hip tray, and the Biogel PI Indicator glove has a smallest size.
  • Lavage and power supply — the AC powered lavage system needs a power supply region, a plug is packed only with it, and the battery powered system needs a shipping review.
  • Volume, discount and total — a 24 tray minimum, a discount that needs approval above 6 percent and is blocked above 12 percent, reviews for very large orders and large lavage volumes, and the stated total against the computed total.

Any quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. The product names and sizes follow public Molnlycke information; every compatibility rule, tray minimum, price and approval threshold is modeled from comparable custom procedure trays and is not published by Molnlycke, so the amounts on this page are illustrative and shown in cents. Not covered: other procedures, sterilization and packaging, shipping charges, tax and other Molnlycke product lines.

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
Components that exist only in some traysOnly with care
Each component is packed in some procedure trays and not in others, so every component needs a rule that reads the procedure.		The procedure and every component are checked together on every call.
Parts that must go together or not at allOnly with care
A power supply region goes only with the AC lavage system, and that system needs a region, so two rules read the same pair of choices.		Both choices are fields of the quote and are checked against each other on every call.
A discount with two thresholdsOnly with workarounds
Above one limit a person must approve and above another the quote is blocked, so two rules have to read the same figure.		The discount is checked against both limits, and the approval and the block are reported separately.
A price built from many per-tray componentsOnly with workarounds
The total is the sum of component prices times the trays less the discount, so it must be recomputed before the stated total can be compared.		The stated total is a field of the quote and is compared with the computed total on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as 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.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a custom orthopaedic procedure tray: the procedure, the gloves, gown, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the tray rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the total it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote 20 trays for hip, with Biogel gloves in size 7.5, no gown, the small Mepilex Border Post-Op dressing. The discount is 9 percent and the quote states a total of 355,360 cents. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with five findings and one approval, all in one answer. 20 trays is below the 24 tray minimum for a custom procedure tray order. The hip tray is built with a BARRIER Reinforced Ultimate surgical gown; choose a gown size. The hip tray takes the large Mepilex Border Post-Op sizes (10x20 and up); the small dressing does not cover a hip incision. The other two are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned five 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 and against the stated total.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for components that exist only in some trays, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the gown to An Ultimate 2XL gown, the dressing to The large Mepilex Border Post-Op dressing, the power supply region to A UK plug, the trays to 120, the discount to 5 percent and the stated total to 2,530,800.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All six earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. Six 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.
    14.
