Predictika · Verizon Business site connectivity quotes

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

An AI sales agent drafts a quote for one business site: internet access, optional Private IP, managed SD-WAN, 5G backup, an SLA tier and wireless lines. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model, compares the monthly price and contract value the agent states with the ones it computes, and returns every finding together with the line-item quote.

Scope: Verizon Business site connectivity quotes (Fios Business or Dedicated Internet Access, Private IP, managed SD-WAN, 5G backup, SLA and wireless lines), in US dollars. See everything this validator covers

This validator covers quotes for one business site: an internet access service (Fios Business or Dedicated Internet Access) with optional Private IP, managed SD-WAN, 5G Business Internet backup, an SLA tier and Business Unlimited wireless lines. It does not cover consumer plans, devices, other enterprise products, taxes or financing.

  • Access and building — Fios availability and speeds by site, building port-speed limits, on-net and off-net service, and the install interval against the need date.
  • SLA, SD-WAN and backup — Enhanced SLA needs diverse entry and Dedicated Internet Access, Premium SD-WAN needs two underlays, and 5G backup depends on the site.
  • Commercial terms — term discounts, off-net term and special construction rules (capital approval above $25,000), discount authority by total contract value, and the monthly price and contract value the agent states, which are compared with the validator's own figures.
  • Wireless lines — plan and line-count pricing.

Any quote that combines these sites, services and terms runs through this validator, not just the seven scenarios shown on this page. It is an illustrative model built from public product structure; prices, availability and limits are fictional estimates, and it does not use Verizon's own rules.

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 CPQ (our assessment)Predictika
Services whose availability depends on the site (Fios, 5G backup, diverse entry, building speed)Only with care
Each site attribute can be a lookup, but every product rule has to read it and the rules multiply with each new service.		Site attributes sit in one catalog and every service is checked against them in the same pass.
A derived underlay count that decides whether Premium SD-WAN is allowedOnly with workarounds
The count comes from Private IP and 5G backup together, so a product rule needs a calculated field that the SD-WAN rule can read.		The count is computed from the choices and used by the SD-WAN rule on every call.
Charges that change with term (term discounts, special construction waived at 36 months)Only with care
Possible with pricing tables, but the one-time construction charge, the term discount and the approval threshold have to be kept in step.		Term, discounts and the one-time charges are computed together, and the approval rule reads the same figures.
Discount authority tied to the computed total contract valueOnly with workarounds
The limit depends on a total that the price rules produce, so approvals usually run as a separate step after pricing.		The total contract value is computed in the model and the maximum and approval limits are read from it.
A stated monthly price or contract value that leaves something outOnly with workarounds
A rule can compare a stated figure with a calculated one only if the stated figure is a field on the quote, which it rarely is.		The stated figures travel with the quote and are compared with the computed figures on every call.

  

  

    
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.

    
1Fios Business only where Fios is available at the site, and only at the speeds Fios offers.
2Port speed (internet and Private IP) within the building limit.
3Enhanced SLA only on Dedicated Internet Access, and only with diverse building entry.
4Premium managed SD-WAN needs two underlays (Private IP or 5G backup).
55G Business Internet backup only where 5G is available.
6Off-net Dedicated Internet needs a term of 24 months or more; construction is charged unless the term is 36 months.
7Special construction over $25,000 needs capital approval.
8Wireless lines need a Business Unlimited plan.
9The install interval (14, 30 or 90 days) fits the need date.
10Discount within the maximum for the contract value (10 percent, or 15 percent at $100,000 and above); above 5 percent needs approval.
11The monthly price the agent states matches the computed monthly price.
12The total contract value the agent states matches the computed value.
