Predictika · Aluminium window and door orders

An AI sales agent's window and door order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for an aluminium window, door or folding door from a published system: variant, vent size, glass thickness, visible widths, opening direction, security and fire classes and the performance figures it states on the quote. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published technical information and returns a verdict, every reason and the listed values it compared against.

Scope: Five published Reynaers variants (ConceptSystem 77 Standard, Hidden Vent and Fireproof windows, ConceptSystem 77 Standard door, ConceptFolding 77 Standard): sizes, glass, widths, opening, security, fire and stated performance. See everything this validator covers

This validator models the technical information published on the Reynaers website for these five variants, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Size and weight — the ConceptFolding 77 vent and the ConceptSystem 77 door leaf have listed minimum and maximum widths and heights, and the folding vent has a listed maximum weight; a size or stated weight outside the listed range is blocked.
  • Glass and visible widths — each variant lists a vent glass thickness range, and the window and door variants list minimum visible frame and vent widths by opening direction, plus minimum transom profile widths for the door and the folding variant.
  • Opening, security and fire — the Hidden Vent and Fireproof windows list inward opening only; RC3 is listed on the Standard window, door and Fireproof window but RC2 only on the Hidden Vent window and the folding variant; a fire resistance class is listed only on the Fireproof window.
  • Stated performance — a stated U value better than the listed best value, or a sound reduction, wind load or water tightness above the listed value, goes to a person for approval, because the listed figures are for reference sizes and glazing.

Any order for these five variants that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Reynaers publishes no price list, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), maximum window sizes and weights (not given on the pages read), other Reynaers systems, colours, hardware and fabrication details.

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
Limits that differ by variantOnly with care
Each variant has its own size, weight, glass and width limits, so each needs its own product rules and the numbers have to be kept in step with the published pages.		The variant is one input; every limit for it is computed on each call and checked in the same pass.
Minimum widths that depend on the opening directionOnly with care
The visible frame and vent minimums change with inward or outward opening, and some variants do not list outward opening at all.		The opening direction and variant are in one request, so the right minimum and the opening rule are applied together.
Security and fire classes that exist only on some variantsOnly with workarounds
Whether a class is available depends on a choice on another line, so it needs cross-line rules that interact with the rest.		Every choice is in one request, so the conflict is found whichever order the choices arrive in.
Stated performance figures that must not beat the listed onesOnly with care
The listed value depends on the variant and is a reference figure, so each comparison needs its own formula and a person to confirm any claim above it.		The listed values are computed on every call and compared with the figures the quote states; a claim above them goes to approval.
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.

  

  

    
What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

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 an order for an aluminium window, door or folding door from a published system: variant, vent size, glass thickness, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published technical information and returns a verdict, every reason and the listed values it compared against.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote a ConceptFolding 77 Standard folding door, 1350 mm wide and 2300 mm high, with 24 mm glass, opening inward, with burglar resistance RC3. The quote states a vent weight of 140 kg. 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 vent width is 1,350 mm; the listed maximum for this product is 1,200 mm. The quote states a vent weight of 140 kg; the listed maximum vent weight for this product is 120 kg. The order asks for burglar resistance class RC3; this variant lists RC2 only.
    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 stated performance figures that must not beat the listed ones, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the vent width to 1,150 mm, the burglar resistance to RC2 and the stated vent weight to 110 kg.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All three earlier findings are cleared.
    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.
    14.
