Predictika · T-Mobile for Business account quotes
An AI sales agent prepares a monthly quote for a fictional business customer on T-Mobile for Business phone lines: plan, line count, devices, credit tier, eligibility program, discounts, roaming, promos and the monthly total it expects. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the plan, credit, program, discount, device and promo rules, compares the total the agent states with the one it computes, and returns a verdict with every reason.
This validator models T-Mobile for Business phone-line quotes in US dollars per month, not just the scenarios shown below.
Any T-Mobile for Business phone-line quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: consumer, prepaid, home-internet and government plans, taxes, real credit checks and real contract terms. Prices for the three plans and the telco recovery fee follow the public T-Mobile site; credit limits, program terms, discount authority, most device prices and promo values are estimates for demonstration.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Credit tiers that limit both the number of lines and the financed equipment | Only with care Each tier has a line cap and an equipment limit, and the financed amount is lines times the device price, so the check depends on two fields and a calculation. | The tier limits and the financed amount are computed once and checked together with the other rules. |
| Eligibility programs that cannot be stacked with a negotiated discount | Only with workarounds A program discount, a verification step, a line limit and an age rule all interact with a separate negotiated discount, and the combination has to be refused rather than silently priced. | All program and discount conditions are checked together, so a quote that breaks two of them returns both findings. |
| Discount authority that changes with the number of lines | Only with care A rep limit, a manager limit and a minimum line count for the higher band are separate thresholds that must agree. | Requested discount and line count are checked together, with approval and block bands applied by account size. |
| Device promos that depend on plan, financing, port-ins and trade-in | Only with workarounds The promo is valid only when the plan allows it, the device is financed, every promo line ports in and a trade-in is present: four conditions across four fields, and fixing the financing can break the promo. | All four conditions are checked together and each failure comes back with its reason. |
| Hotspot and roaming needs against the plan and its add-ons | Only with care Whether an add-on is redundant or a need is covered depends on the level each plan includes, so it needs a comparison per plan. | The plan level and the add-on level are compared on every call. |
| Pricing with discounts, AutoPay, installments and promo credits that must add up | Only with care The monthly total combines tiered plan prices, percent discounts, a capped AutoPay credit, device installments and promo credits, and each line must reconcile to the total. | Line items are produced by the same calculation as the total, so they always reconcile. |
| The monthly total the agent states | Only with workarounds A rule can compare a stated figure with a calculated one only if the stated figure is a field on the quote, and the calculation has to include every credit and discount. | The stated monthly total travels with the quote and is compared with the computed one on every call; a difference blocks the quote. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only with workarounds Rules tend to fire as the quote is saved, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next. | All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in. |
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 | $9,600 financed on installments is above $6,000 and needs credit approval. |
| 2 | 10 percent negotiated discount is above the 5 percent a rep can give; sales manager approval up to 15 percent. |
| 3 | $7,439.92 financed on installments is above $6,000 and needs credit approval. |
| 4 | 10 lines exceed the 8 lines allowed for credit Tier 2. |
| 5 | $2,789.97 of devices on installments exceeds the $1,500 equipment credit limit for Tier 3; pay some devices in full or reduce lines. |
| 6 | The military discount needs eligibility verification before it can be quoted. |
| 7 | 3 lines exceed the line limit of the 55+ program (12 for first responder and military, 2 for 55+). |
| 8 | The 55+ program needs an account holder aged 55 or older; holder age is 50. |
| 9 | 14 lines exceed the line limit of the first-responder program (12 for first responder and military, 2 for 55+). |
| 10 | Eligibility program discounts cannot be combined with a negotiated discount. |
| 11 | A 8 percent negotiated discount on 6 lines is beyond authority (max 15 percent, above 5 percent needs 10 or more lines). |
| 12 | 20 GB of high-speed hotspot needed but CoreMobile includes 5 GB. |
| 13 | International need level 2 is not covered by CoreMobile and the selected add-on. |
| 14 | The Global Plus add-on is already included in SuperMobile; remove it. |
| 15 | Device promotions are not available on CoreMobile; they need ProMobile or SuperMobile. |
| 16 | Device promo credits are paid only on a new device financed on a 24-month equipment installment plan. |
| 17 | The switcher promo is claimed on 4 lines but only 1 lines port in. |
| 18 | The switcher promo requires an eligible trade-in device. |
| 19 | 8 percent negotiated discount is above the 5 percent a rep can give; sales manager approval up to 15 percent. |
| 20 | Stated monthly total does not match: the agent stated USD 310.18; the validator computes USD 344.64. |
