Predictika · Carrier Ethernet quotes

An AI sales agent's Ethernet service quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a Turk Telekom International Ethernet private line: point-to-point, point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint, with committed and peak rates, interfaces, local tails, protection and a term. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public product description and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.

Scope: Turk Telekom International Ethernet (private line) quotes: point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint services on 100 Mbps, gigabit and 10 Gbps interfaces, at any number of sites. See everything this validator covers

This validator models quotes for the Ethernet private line service of Turk Telekom International, not just the scenarios shown below. Where a rule is on the public product page it says so; prices, term discounts and several limits are modeled from comparable carrier Ethernet products and are labelled that way.

  • Service forms — point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet, each with a committed rate per circuit and a peak rate that can extend to the capacity of the local tail.
  • Interfaces and rates — 100BaseTX, 100BaseLX, 1000BaseT, 1000BaseLX/ZX, 1000BaseSX and 10GBase-ER/LR; committed rates of 2 to 1000 Mbps, and n x 1 Gbps on a 10 Gbps interface; a gigabit interface only for access speeds above 100 Mbps.
  • Access and protection — local tails over fiber, microwave or copper, protected or unprotected service, frames up to 9000 bytes, and optional E-NNI handover with Cisco QinQ on a 1000BaseLX aggregate interface.
  • What the validator checks — number of sites against the service form, interface against the rate and the form, peak rate against the committed rate and the tail, access medium against rate, interface and protection, frame size, term, discount, and the monthly price and total capacity the quote states.
  • Approvals — E-NNI handover, a 12-month term above 500 Mbps, a discount above 10 percent and a net monthly price above $75,000 go to a person.

Any Turk Telekom International Ethernet quote that touches these forms, interfaces and rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: the other Turk Telekom products (Managed Leased Line, Managed Wavelength, DDoS Mitigation, IP and voice services), one-time installation charges, taxes, class-of-service options and customer premises equipment. Turk Telekom does not publish prices, so every price on this page is illustrative, and the term discounts and several limits are modeled from comparable products.

The AI sales agentBuilds the Ethernet quote from the conversation with the customer 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
A 10 Gbps interface that takes only n x 1 GbpsOnly with workarounds
The allowed committed rates depend on the interface chosen: 2 to 1000 Mbps on 100 Mbps and gigabit interfaces, 1000 to 10000 in steps of 1000 on a 10 Gbps interface. A picklist for the rate has to change with the interface, or a validation rule has to hold the table.		The interface and the committed rate are in one request and the allowed rates are checked on every call.
Gigabit interfaces only above 100 MbpsOnly with care
One validation rule per interface type, each tied to the rate field and kept in step when interfaces are added.		The interface and the rate are compared together with every other rule.
Peak rate between the committed rate and the local tailOnly with workarounds
The peak rate has to lie between two other fields, one of which comes from the local tail. Few quote forms compare three quantities at once.		Committed rate, peak rate and tail capacity are checked together.
Number of sites that depends on the service formOnly with care
Exactly 2 for point-to-point and 3 or more for multipoint is a rule on a count that has to be written for each form.		The service form and the number of sites are checked together.
Access medium against rate, interface and protectionOnly with workarounds
Copper limited in rate, microwave excluded from 10 Gbps and protection excluded from copper are three cross-field rules that interact with the interface and rate choices.		All three are checked in the same pass, whatever order the choices arrive in.
A stated price and capacity that must match the build-upOnly with workarounds
Price per Mbps by band and term, interface and access fees, protection and options make a total that a rep types in by hand; checking it means recomputing it.		The stated monthly price and the stated capacity are fields in the request and are compared with the computed figures 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
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.

    
1A 100 Mbps interface cannot carry a committed rate of 101 Mbps.
2A gigabit interface is available for access speeds above 100 Mbps only; the committed rate is 100 Mbps.
3A committed rate of 1 Mbps is outside the 2 to 1,000 Mbps range; faster services are n x 1 Gbps on a 10 Gbps interface.
4On a 10 Gbps interface the committed rate is n x 1 Gbps, from 1 to 10 Gbps; the quote has 1,500 Mbps.
5The peak rate of 150 Mbps must lie between the committed rate of 200 Mbps and the local tail capacity of 1,000 Mbps.
6A copper local tail carries up to 100 Mbps; the committed rate is 200 Mbps.
7A microwave local tail cannot carry a 10 Gbps interface.
8A protected service needs a second path, and a copper local tail has none; protected service is quoted on fiber or microwave.
9The customer frame size is 9,001 bytes; frames up to 9,000 bytes pass transparently.
10E-NNI handover is optional and needs the S-tag plan confirmed with the partner, so a person should confirm.
11E-NNI handover with Cisco QinQ uses a 1000BaseLX aggregate interface; the quote has a different interface.
12A point-to-point service connects exactly 2 sites; the quote has 3 sites.
13A multipoint service connects 3 or more sites; the quote has 2 sites.
14A multipoint-to-multipoint service uses 1000BaseT, 1000BaseLX or 1000BaseSX interfaces; the quote has a different interface.
15The term is 18 months; the service is quoted for 12, 24 or 36 months.
16A 12-month term on a committed rate of 600 Mbps is short for this capacity, so a person should confirm.
17A discount of $351 on a monthly list price of $3,500 is more than 10 percent and needs a manager to approve it.
18A discount of $701 on a monthly list price of $3,500 is more than the 20 percent limit.
19The net monthly price is $101,900, above $75,000, so a person should confirm.
20The quote states a monthly price of $3,501, but the bandwidth, interfaces, access, protection and options give $3,500.
21The quote states 500 Mbps of committed capacity in total, but 2 sites at the committed rate give 400 Mbps.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a Turk Telekom International Ethernet private line: point-to-point, point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public product description 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 a point-to-point Ethernet service between 2 sites at 4,500 Mbps committed per site and 12 Gbps peak, on 10GBase-ER/LR interfaces with microwave local tails. The quote states 9,000 Mbps of committed capacity in total and a price of $55,400 a month. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with six findings and two approvals, all in one answer. On a 10 Gbps interface the committed rate is n x 1 Gbps, from 1 to 10 Gbps; the quote has 4,500 Mbps. The peak rate of 12,000 Mbps must lie between the committed rate of 4,500 Mbps and the local tail capacity of 10,000 Mbps. A microwave local tail cannot carry a 10 Gbps interface. The other three are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned six blocking findings and two approvals 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 peak rate between the committed rate and the local tail, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the committed rate per site to 5 Gbps, the peak rate per site to 10 Gbps, the local tail to fiber, the frame size to 9,000 bytes, the stated total capacity to 10,000 Mbps and the stated price per month to $47,900. Three more changes are on screen.
    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 Ethernet committed bandwidth and 10GBase-ER/LR interface; the other two lines are on screen.
    13. 
      
  13. All eight earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, $47,900 a month, matches the quote.
    14. 
      
  14. Eight problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean $47,900 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.
