Predictika · Dental implants, abutments, digital workflow licenses and regional discount limits
An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a dental implant order: an implant line, an abutment, a digital workflow license, the diameter, the sales region, the number of implants and an extra discount. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika's validator, which checks all of it together, including the net total the agent states, and reports every problem in one pass.
This validator checks any quote for this product line against the rules below, not just the scenarios shown on this page.
Any quote that touches these rules is in scope, not only the scenarios pictured here. Not checked: other Straumann product lines such as aligners or biomaterials, real list prices, clinical guidance, taxes and multi-currency quoting.

What this means
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 caught | Typical rules-based CPQ | Predictika |
|---|---|---|
| Regional margin ceilings on discount | Only with workarounds A discount ceiling per region is usually a price rule table plus approval rules that must be kept in step. | The ceiling is one calculation from the region; the approval band and the block share it. |
| A license tier required by the hardware chosen | Only with care Product rules requiring a license tier for each implant and abutment combination; each combination is a rule. | Each requirement is a catalog attribute compared with the tier on every call. |
| Ceramic implants only with matching abutments | Only with care A compatibility matrix that grows with every new implant line. | The capability is an attribute on each product. |
| An allocation review for large ceramic orders | Only with workarounds A conditional approval on a product family quantity; often an approval process outside the quote. | The review is returned as a separate approval finding with the blocks. |
| A quoted total that no longer matches | Only with workarounds The total the agent states is a typed number; unless someone adds a recalculation rule it is accepted as is. | The validator computes the total and blocks a quote whose stated total does not match. |
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.
| 1 | A narrow diameter on an implant line that does not offer it is blocked. |
| 2 | A ceramic implant with a titanium abutment is blocked; it needs the zirconia custom abutment. |
| 3 | A custom abutment without a digital workflow license is blocked. |
| 4 | A ceramic implant with a custom abutment needs the Pro digital workflow license. |
| 5 | A license term outside 1 to 3 years is blocked. |
| 6 | A quantity outside 1 to 1,000 implants is blocked. |
| 7 | An extra discount above the regional limit is blocked. |
| 8 | A net total that does not match the total the validator computes is blocked. |
| 9 | An extra discount above the 6 percent a rep can give needs regional sales director approval. |
| 10 | More than 100 ceramic implants need a supply allocation from product management. |
| 11 | An order above USD 200,000 needs a finance review. |
