An AI sales agent's business mobile fleet quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a monthly quote for a fleet of business mobile services on bring-your-own plans: plan sizes, international option, Data Share SIMs and devices. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published plan terms and charges and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.

Scope: Business BYO Mobile Plan fleet quotes (S, M, L and XL) with the international option, Data Share SIMs and device repayments. See everything this validator covers

This validator models fleet quotes for the Business BYO Mobile Plans as described in the public Critical Information Summary, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Plans and charges — S ($39 a month, 2GB), M ($59, 15GB), L ($79, 30GB) and XL ($99, 60GB), added into a line-item quote and compared with the monthly charge the agent states; the minimum plan cost over the 12 month term and the maximum early termination charge for each plan are computed.
  • Term and options — these plans are on a 12 month term; the unlimited 45 Eligible Destinations international option ($10 a month) applies to the S and M plans; Additional Data Share SIMs cost $5 a month each, with a limit of 5 per service.
  • Devices — a bring-your-own device must be compatible with the Telstra Mobile Network, and a Mobile Repayment Option device is counted per service.

Any fleet quote for these plans that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other Telstra mobile plans (My Business, Business Mobile, lease and Choice plans), device prices and repayment amounts (the summary says there may be an upfront amount but states no figures), extra data at $10 a GB, international usage, calls beyond the plan inclusions, enterprise or negotiated pricing, and anything other than mobile (fixed data, voice, managed network). Assumptions: prices are the published monthly charges in whole dollars (the summary does not say whether GST is included), and the totals are estimates.

The AI sales agentBuilds the fleet quote from the conversation and says it is ready.

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
Stated monthly charges that must equal what the published rates giveOnly with care
A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with a computed total, but the total depends on the plan mix and add-ons and has to be kept in step with the plan documents.		The stated charge travels with the quote and is compared with the computed charge on every call.
An option that exists only on some plansOnly with care
A product rule for each plan. It works, but the count of option lines has to be compared with the count of eligible plans across lines.		Option counts and plan counts are in one request and compared on every call.
A Data Share SIM limit that grows with the number of servicesOnly with workarounds
The limit is per service, so a fleet limit depends on a count on one line and a quantity on another and needs a cross-line rule.		The per-service limit is multiplied out for the whole quote and checked with the rest.
A fixed term that quotes must respectOnly with care
A validation rule per plan family. It works, but it is easy to leave a term field free and unchecked.		The term is a field of the request and checked on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the quote 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

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a monthly quote for a fleet of business mobile services on bring-your-own plans: plan sizes, international option, Data Share SIMs and devices. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published plan terms and charges and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote Telstra Business BYO Mobile Plans for 12 services: 6 on the S plan, 4 on the M plan. The quote states a monthly charge of $678. 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 quote asks for a 24 month term; Telstra Business BYO Mobile Plans are on a 12 month term. 2 services use a bring-your-own device that is not compatible with the Telstra Mobile Network. The quote states a monthly charge of $678; the published charges give $738.
    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 monthly charges that must equal what the published rates give, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the term to 12 months and the stated monthly charge to $738. It removes the services on a bring-your-own device not compatible with the Telstra Mobile Network.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. The validator also returns the line-item quote. It starts with Telstra Business BYO Mobile Plan S (2GB a month) and Telstra Business BYO Mobile Plan M (15GB a month); the other four lines are on screen.
    13. 
      
  13. All three earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, $738, matches the quote.
    14. 
      
  14. 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.
    15.
