An AI sales agent's kitchen cabinet order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent turns a kitchen plan into an order for base cabinets, plinth, end panels and a tall cabinet. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published nobilia type-overview rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: nobilia base cabinet widths, plinth heights, end panel height, tall cabinet height and minimum room height. See everything this validator covers

This validator models the base-cabinet and tall-cabinet rules published in the nobilia type overview 2026, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Base cabinet widths — each cabinet type is offered only in certain widths, and the extra-high (XL, 792 mm) range differs for some types, for example the drawer cabinet UD2SA.
  • Plinth height — 20, 70, 100, 150 and 200 mm; the 20 mm plinth is not allowed in the active areas of the kitchen (cooking, sink, cooling).
  • End panel height — cabinet height plus plinth height minus the 8 mm bottom-profile allowance, compared with the height stated on the order.
  • Tall cabinets and room height — the tall cabinet height that fits the grid for the chosen base and wall cabinet heights, and the minimum room height for each tall cabinet height and plinth height.

Any order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (nobilia publishes no price list, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), other cabinet ranges and fronts, wall cabinets other than their height, appliances and installation.

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
Widths that differ by cabinet type and height rangeOnly with care
Each cabinet type has its own list of widths, and the extra-high range changes some of them, so the lists have to be entered type by type and maintained by hand.		Cabinet type, height range and width are in one request and checked together.
A plinth rule that depends on the room zoneOnly with care
Whether a 20 mm plinth is allowed depends on a zone chosen elsewhere in the order, so it needs a cross-line rule.		Plinth height and zone are compared in the same pass as every other rule.
A stated end panel height that must match the arithmeticOnly with care
The stated figure is free entry; a rule can compare it with a computed one, but someone has to write and maintain the formula.		The stated figure travels with the order and is compared with cabinet height plus plinth minus 8 mm.
A tall cabinet height set by the base and wall cabinet heightsOnly with workarounds
The allowed height comes from a small grid of two other choices, so it takes a lookup table kept in sync with the catalogue.		The grid height is derived from the base and wall cabinet heights and compared with the tall cabinet on the order.
A minimum room height by tall cabinet and plinth heightOnly with workarounds
A two-way table of tall cabinet height against plinth height has to be entered as rules, and it is easy to enter one cell wrongly.		The minimum room height is looked up from both choices and compared with the room height.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order 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.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent turns a kitchen plan into an order for base cabinets, plinth, end panels and a tall cabinet. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published nobilia type-overview rules 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 order a drawer base cabinet UD2SA of 60 cm width in the extra-high (792 mm) kitchen range, with a 20 mm plinth (at the cooking, sink or cooling area) and 720 mm wall cabinets. The order states an end panel height of 812 mm. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. This cabinet type is not offered in a width of 60 cm in the selected cabinet height range. The 20 mm plinth height must not be used in the active areas of the kitchen, such as cooking and sink. The quote states an end panel height of 812 mm, but cabinet height plus plinth height minus the 8 mm bottom-profile allowance gives 804 mm.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned three 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 widths that differ by cabinet type and height range, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the base cabinet to drawer base cabinet UD2SA, 80 cm wide, the plinth height to 70 mm (active area) and the stated end panel height to 854 mm.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All three earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    13. 
      
  13. Three 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.
