An AI sales agent's bedside cabinet quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for wood bedside cabinets: the model, the finish and drawer pull, the top, base rail and back panel, casters, a lock with its lock cores, drawer liners and a total. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the options and list prices in the published price list and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Logique wood bedside cabinet quotes: the four cabinet models, finish and drawer pull selections, top, base rail, back panel, casters, lock and lock cores, drawer liners and the total at the published list prices. See everything this validator covers

This validator models quotes for Logique wood bedside cabinets as the published price list describes them, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Models and list prices — the three-drawer cabinet (USD 1,336), the one-drawer cabinet with an open bottom (USD 1,144) and the one-drawer, one-door cabinet in left or right hinging (USD 1,359 each), multiplied by the quantity and compared with the total the quote states.
  • Options and upcharges — top (square, gallery rails, radius edge, radius edge with gallery rails), base rail (straight, arc, classic), back panel (standard or premium), casters, the lock and drawer liners from none to three, each at its published upcharge.
  • Required selections — a finish and a drawer pull must be chosen on every quote, and the lock option needs one lock core per cabinet, ordered separately. A modification (MOD#) is priced separately, so a quote that asks for one is sent to a person.

Any Logique wood bedside cabinet quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: the laminate cabinets, dressers, storage and wardrobe units, headboards and crowns, finish-specific pricing, modification prices, COM and COL materials, discounts, freight and taxes. Assumption: the prices are the list prices in the price list effective February 1, 2021, and may since have changed.

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
A lock that needs one lock core per cabinet, ordered separatelyOnly with care
A product rule linking the lock option to a second line on the order, with a quantity check that has to be kept in step with the cabinet count.		The cabinet count, the lock and the lock cores are in one request and compared on every call.
Required selections such as finish and drawer pullEasy
A required-field rule on each selection.		The same, checked together with every other rule.
A stated total that disagrees with the models, upcharges and quantityOnly with workarounds
The total is built from a model price, up to six option upcharges and a quantity; checking a stated figure against it takes extra price rules that interact with the rest.		The stated total is a field in the request and is compared with the computed total.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the quote 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 quote has 0 cabinets; at least 1 is needed.
2The quote has no finish selected; the price list marks the finish as a required selection.
3The quote has no drawer pull selected; the price list marks the drawer pull as a required selection.
4The quote asks for 4 drawer liners per cabinet; the price list offers none, one, two or three liners.
5The lock option requires 1 lock core per cabinet, ordered separately; the quote has 10 cabinets with the lock but 0 lock cores.
6The lock option requires 1 lock core per cabinet, ordered separately; the quote has 10 cabinets with the lock but 9 lock cores.
7The quote states a total of USD 13,260, but the cabinets at the published list prices come to USD 13,360.
8The quote states a total of USD 13,361, but the cabinets at the published list prices come to USD 13,360.
9The quote asks for a modification (MOD#); the price list prices each modification separately, so a person should price it, and the total above does not include it.
10The quote asks for 5 drawer liners per cabinet; the price list offers none, one, two or three liners.
11The quote states a total of USD 1, but the cabinets at the published list prices come to USD 17,930.

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 wood bedside cabinets: the model, the finish and drawer pull, the top, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the options and list prices in the published price list 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 quote 16 Logique wood one-drawer, one-door bedside cabinets, left hinged, with a radius edge top and an arc base rail. The quote states a total of USD 20,000. 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. The quote has no finish selected; the price list marks the finish as a required selection. The quote has no drawer pull selected; the price list marks the drawer pull as a required selection. The quote states a total of USD 20,000, but the cabinets at the published list prices come to USD 23,328.
    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 and against the stated total.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for required selections such as finish and drawer pull, a rules-based CPQ is easy.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the finish to MGW.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. The quote has no drawer pull selected; the price list marks the drawer pull as a required selection. The quote states a total of USD 20,000, but the cabinets at the published list prices come to USD 23,328.
    12. 
      
  12. One finding cleared. Still blocking: drawer pull selection missing and stated total differs from the list prices.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the drawer pull to optix silver and the stated total as to $23,328.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, USD 23,328, matches the quote.
    18. 
      
  18. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean $23,328 quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
