Predictika · Coagulation analyzer, reagent and consumable orders

An AI sales agent's coagulation analyzer order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a coagulation analyzer with its reagent, calibration plasma, control plasma and consumables, and says how the analyzer will be loaded. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the catalogue rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: STA R Max3, STA Compact Max3 and STA Satellite Max orders: reagent, calibration plasma, control plasma, cuvettes, needles and onboard loading. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for three Stago STA analyzers, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Analyzers and test menu — the STA R Max3, STA Compact Max3 and STA Satellite Max; the Satellite Max runs only PT, APTT, fibrinogen, anti-Xa for UFH and LMWH, D-dimer and antithrombin activity; manual ELISA kits are not analyzer reagents.
  • Calibration and controls — for 18 listed reagents (PT, APTT, fibrinogen, thrombin time, factor assays, anti-Xa, antithrombin, protein C, free protein S, VWF antigen, D-dimer, lupus screen), the calibration plasma and control plasma the catalogue pairs with each reagent; rivaroxaban anti-Xa calibrator and control are research use only.
  • Consumables and loading — cuvettes and spare needles for each analyzer; onboard capacity of 70 reagent positions (75 with the high capacity drawer) and 215 samples on the R Max3, 45 and 96 on the Compact Max3, 16 and 20 on the Satellite Max, and 1,000 cuvettes (220 on the Satellite Max); the free positions the order states are compared with the figure the validator computes.

Any order for these analyzers that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the catalogue lists none, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), ST Genesia, STA Workcell Max and automation kits, software modules, research kits, flow cytometry and ELISA kits, reagent quantities and tests per kit, and other Stago catalogues or regions.

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 reagent that needs one particular calibration plasma, and controls that differ by reagentOnly with care
A product rule per reagent and calibrator. It works, but every reagent added to the catalogue is another set of pairings to maintain.		The reagent, calibration plasma and control plasma are in one request and every pairing is checked together.
A test that the smaller analyzer does not runOnly with workarounds
The test menu depends on the analyzer chosen on a different line, so each test needs a rule that reads the analyzer.		The analyzer and the test are in one request, so the mismatch is found whichever order the choices arrive in.
Consumables made for a different analyzerOnly with care
Cuvettes and needles are separate lines; a rule per part and analyzer is needed, and an older part number slips through if it is missed.		Cuvettes and needles are checked against the selected analyzer on every call.
Onboard capacity depends on the analyzer and an optionOnly with workarounds
Reagent positions change with the analyzer and with the high capacity drawer; the free-position figure the rep states is a free-entry field.		Positions are computed on every call and compared with the loading plan and with the figure the order states.
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
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 selected test is not on the STA Satellite Max test menu (PT, APTT, fibrinogen, anti-Xa for UFH and LMWH, D-dimer, antithrombin activity); it needs an STA R Max3 or STA Compact Max3.
2The Asserachrom D-Di ELISA kit is listed in the Stago catalogue as a manual reagent; it is not an automated reagent for the STA analyzers.
3The calibration plasma on the quote is not the one the Stago catalogue lists for the selected reagent.
4The control plasma on the quote is not one the Stago catalogue lists for the selected reagent.
5The cuvettes on the quote are not the ones listed for the selected analyzer; the STA R Max3 and STA Compact Max3 use STA-Cuvettes, the STA Satellite Max uses STA-Satellite Cuvettes, and STG-Cuvettes are for the ST Genesia.
6The spare needle on the quote is not the one listed for the selected analyzer; the STA R Max3 and STA Compact Max3 take the quick-change cap-piercing needle 1 (89,156), the STA Satellite Max takes sample needle 39,356.
772 reagent vials are planned to be onboard at once, but the selected analyzer has 70 reagent positions.

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 a coagulation analyzer with its reagent, calibration plasma, control plasma and consumables, and says how the analyzer will be loaded. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the catalogue 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 quote an STA Satellite Max order for STA-Staclot Protein C 3 with STA-Unicalibrator and STA-System Control N+P, STA-Cuvettes, and spare needle 1, quick change cap piercing (89156). It will be loaded with 12 reagent vials, 15 samples and 150 cuvettes, for diagnostic use. 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 selected test is not on the STA Satellite Max test menu (PT, APTT, fibrinogen, anti-Xa for UFH and LMWH, D-dimer, antithrombin activity); it needs an STA R Max3 or STA Compact Max3. The cuvettes on the quote are not the ones listed for the selected analyzer; the STA R Max3 and STA Compact Max3 use STA-Cuvettes, the STA Satellite Max uses STA-Satellite Cuvettes, and STG-Cuvettes are for the ST Genesia. The spare needle on the quote is not the one listed for the selected analyzer; the STA R Max3 and STA Compact Max3 take the quick-change cap-piercing needle 1 (89,156), the STA Satellite Max takes sample needle 39,356.
    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 a test that the smaller analyzer does not run, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the analyzer to STA R Max3, the reagent vials onboard to 40, the samples onboard to 120, the cuvettes loaded to 600 and the stated free reagent positions to 30.
    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.
