An AI sales agent's manual wheelchair order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a manual wheelchair order for a dealer: a QUICKIE frame, seat width and depth, the user's weight, camber, seat-to-floor heights, power assist, transit and suspension options, with the weight capacity and billing code it states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the figures Sunrise Medical publishes and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: QUICKIE manual wheelchair frames: published seat sizes, user weight capacity, camber, seat-to-floor heights, power assist, transit and suspension options, and the billing code. See everything this validator covers

This validator models a manual wheelchair order built on one frame at a time, based on the public QUICKIE Manual Wheelchair Reference Guide, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Thirteen published frames — Nitrum, Nitrum Hybrid, 5R, QRi, GPSA, IRIS, SR45, ACCESS, QS5 X SA, QS5 X FF, QUICKIE 2, QXi and M6. Each has its own seat width and depth range, user weight capacity, camber settings, front and rear seat-to-floor height ranges and billing code (K0005, E1161 or K0007).
  • Weight and sizes — the user's weight against the frame's capacity (with the heavy-duty capacity listed for the IRIS and the QUICKIE 2), the seat width and depth against the published ranges, and seat sizes beyond them where the guide says additional options are available through QUICKIE Built-4-Me, which go to a person.
  • Options — which power assist (R90, R20 or Xtender) is listed for each frame, whether the transit option is listed, whether front or rear suspension is listed (front suspension that is Built-4-Me only goes to a person), and the camber setting.
  • Stated figures — the weight capacity and billing code the quote states, compared with what the guide lists for the frame.

Any manual wheelchair order on these frames that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Sunrise Medical does not publish list prices, so this page shows no price build-up), other QUICKIE and ZIPPIE models, the GP and GPV frames, seating and positioning products, back angle, footrest angles, back height and the other adjustment ranges in the guide, color and finish, payer rules, and the guide's warning that adding options can limit the maximum user weight (the order form decides that).

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
Only the seat sizes, camber settings and heights published for each of 13 framesOnly with workarounds
Every frame has its own width, depth, camber and height ranges, so a rules-based CPQ needs a compatibility table or one rule per frame, and every guide revision means editing them.
The frame and the sizes arrive in one request and are matched to the published row on every call.
Weight capacity that changes with the heavy-duty optionOnly with care
The capacity depends on the frame and on a capacity option that only two frames offer, and then it is compared with the user weight.
The capacity, the option and the user weight are compared on every call.
Sizes that are not standard but may be built to orderOnly with care
Whether a width beyond the range is simply invalid or can be requested depends on the frame, so it is easy to block an order that a person could have approved.
Beyond-range sizes on frames that list Built-4-Me go to a person; on the others they are blocked.
Capacity and billing code the quote statesOnly with care
The stated figures are derived from the chosen frame and option, so a rule has to recompute them and compare.
The stated capacity and code are fields in the request, compared with the guide values on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a person 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.

Narration transcript

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a manual wheelchair order for a dealer: a QUICKIE frame, seat width and depth, the user's weight, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the figures Sunrise Medical publishes and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote a QUICKIE ACCESS manual wheelchair, 20 inches wide and 20 inches deep, for a user who weighs 360 pounds. The quote states HCPCS code E1161 and a user weight capacity of 400 pounds. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. The user weighs 360 pounds; the user weight capacity listed for the selected frame is 300 pounds. The selected power-assist option is not listed for the selected frame in the reference guide. The quote states a user weight capacity of 400 pounds; the reference guide lists 300 pounds for the selected frame and capacity option.
  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. What this shows: for weight capacity that changes with the heavy-duty option, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the frame to QUICKIE IRIS.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. Still blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. The user weighs 360 pounds; the user weight capacity listed for the selected frame is 300 pounds. A front seat-to-floor height of 12 inches is outside the 12.5 to 19 inch range listed for the selected frame. The quote states a user weight capacity of 400 pounds; the reference guide lists 300 pounds for the selected frame and capacity option.
  12. One finding cleared. Still blocking: user weight above the frame capacity and stated weight capacity does not match. Newly found: front seat-to-floor height outside the listed range.
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
  14. The revised request. It changes the heavy-duty capacity option to yes and the front seat-to-floor height to 12.5.
  15. It calls the validator once more.
  16. This time the validator clears it.
  17. All three earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
  18. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, 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.
