An AI sales agent's Adora dishwasher plan, checked before it goes to the kitchen fitter

An AI sales agent prepares the plan for a built-in dishwasher: the Adora model, standard or grand volume, the niche width and height, the dimension A, the electrical and water connection, and the weight of the decor panel. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the figures in the V-ZUG planning guide and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Adora SL, S and N (standard and grand volume) and the Adora SL WP heat pump dishwasher in 55 and 60 cm niches: niche height against dimension A, connection, water and decor panel weight. See everything this validator covers

This validator checks the installation plan of one built-in Adora dishwasher at a time, against the figures in sections 16 and 17 of the public V-ZUG planning guide J001055-R29 (13 April 2016, French), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Niche height against dimension A — the guide's overview tables say, for each dimension A (measure A in the guide's installation drawing), which niche heights (790 to 960 mm) take a standard dishwasher, a grand volume dishwasher or the Adora SL WP. The plan must sit inside the listed cells; a niche height or dimension A that is not a table column or row is returned to a person.
  • Models and niche width — Adora SL, S and N come in standard and grand volume for 55 and 60 cm niches; the guide gives the Adora SL WP heat pump model a 60 cm niche only and lists it only as a standard installation without a plinth.
  • Electrical and water connection — a 10 A fuse for every Adora model; 230 V for the Adora S and N, 230 V or 400 V 2N for the Adora SL and SL WP; static mains pressure 0.1 to 1.0 MPa, running pressure 0.08 to 1.0 MPa, water hardness 0.5 to 50 degrees French (above that the guide recommends an external softener, which goes to a person) and inlet water 5 to 60 degrees Celsius.
  • Decor panel — the front panel's weight must be inside the guide's minimum and maximum for the decor system (integrated Nero or white, integrated ChromeClass, integrated design mirror, fully integrated) and the niche width.

Any plan for these dishwashers that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the guide has none, so this page shows no price build-up), the Adorina compact dishwashers, other V-ZUG appliances in the guide (ovens, steamers, cooktops, hoods, refrigerators), later guide editions, the SMS plinth special case at dimension A 107 mm, and the drawings in the guide. This model follows the 2016 edition of the guide; models and figures may since have changed.

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
Niche height that is only allowed for certain dimension A values (two overview tables)Only with workarounds
The guide gives a grid of niche height against dimension A with different cells for standard and grand volume. A rules-based CPQ needs the grid loaded as a lookup table and a rule per class, and has to be edited when the guide changes.		The grid is part of the model; height, dimension A, volume class and model are compared together on every call.
A dishwasher model that is only listed for one width and one volume classOnly with care
The Adora SL WP exists only in a 60 cm, standard, plinth-free installation. A product rule can say so, but it must be written separately and kept in step with the grid.		Model, width and volume class are checked together with the grid, in any order.
Decor panel weight limits that depend on both decor system and niche widthOnly with workarounds
Eight minimum and maximum weights (four decor systems, two widths) are a lookup, and a weight is not a normal quote field.		The weight limits are derived from the decor system and width, and the panel weight is compared on every call.
Connection and water limits all at onceOnly with care
Fuse, voltage by model, static and running pressure, hardness and inlet temperature are installation facts that rules-based CPQ seldom captures at quote time.		All of them are fields in the request and are checked together.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the quote 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.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares the plan for a built-in dishwasher: the Adora model, standard or grand volume, the niche width and height, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the figures in the V-ZUG planning guide and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please plan an Adora N dishwasher in grand volume for a 60 cm niche that is 900 mm high, with a dimension A of 130 mm. The decor panel is fully integrated and weighs 7.6 kg. 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, all in one answer. The Adora S and Adora N connect at 230 V single phase only; the 400 V 2N connection is listed for the Adora SL and Adora SL WP. The guide gives a 10 A fuse for every Adora model; the plan has 16 A. The static mains pressure is 1,100 kPa; the guide allows 0.1 to 1.0 MPa, that is 100 to 1,000 kPa. The other three are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned six 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 decor panel weight limits that depend on both decor system and niche width, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the decor panel weight to 6,800 g, the connection to 230 V, the fuse to 10 A and the static mains pressure to 400 kPa. Two more changes are on screen.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Not blocked, but held for a person.
    12. 
      
  12. The six blocking findings are cleared; one approval remains for a person: softener to confirm.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the water hardness to 40 degrees French and the external softener fitted to no.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. The earlier finding is cleared.
    18. 
      
  18. Six 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.
    19.
