Predictika · Verizon Business wireless quotes
An AI sales agent prepares a Verizon Business smartphone quote: plan, lines, devices, tablets, promotions and credits, in US dollars per month. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the plan, eligibility, credit and promotion rules, compares the monthly price and the due-today amount the quote states with the computed ones, and returns every finding together with the line-item monthly bill. This is an illustrative model built from public plan structure with estimated device prices; it is not Verizon's internal rule set.
This validator models one product line: Verizon Business smartphone plan quotes built from My Biz Plan line-count pricing, the Premium Network Experience and hotspot add-ons, AutoPay and paper-free discounts, tablet lines, device payment agreements, switcher and BYOD promotions, and negotiated per-line credits. It handles any quote involving these plans, devices and terms, not only the scenarios shown on this page. It does not cover other Verizon services such as fixed wireless, IoT or prepaid plans.

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 class limits on the number of lines, and a business credit review above 24 lines | Easy A lookup of line limit by credit class plus one threshold rule is well within what a rules-based CPQ tool does. | The credit class sets the line limit and the review threshold on every call, and the finding states the count and the limit. |
| Line-count pricing tiers where the per-line rate falls as lines are added | Only with care A tier table can be configured, but the price per line, the AutoPay discount and the credits all have to be recombined for each plan bundle, and a change to one tier means editing several rules. | The rate for the line count is looked up and combined with the AutoPay discount, credits, tablets and add-ons in one pass, and every line item is returned. |
| Switcher promo that needs a Plus or Pro plan, a payment agreement, port-in on every promo line and no stacked credit | Only with workarounds The promo depends on the plan, the way the device is bought, how many lines port in and whether a credit is also present. Rules-based CPQ usually needs a custom script for the combination. | Each condition is its own named finding, so a quote that fails two of them shows both at once. |
| 5G Ultra Wideband, hotspot allowance and tablet count that depend on the plan bundle and the device | Only with care Device and plan capability tables can be built, but each new device or bundle needs its flags entered, and the hotspot add-on interacts with the bundled allowance. | Device and plan capabilities are compared with what the customer needs on every call, and the finding names the plan or device. |
| Per-line credit authority: a rep can give up to 5 dollars, a manager up to 10, only on 10 or more lines | Only with workarounds Tiered authority that changes the outcome from allow to approval to block needs linked rules on credit and line count, and the tiers drift when policy changes. | The credit is placed against the rep limit, the manager limit and the 10-line minimum on every call. |
| Stated monthly price and due-today amount that must match the computed ones | 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, which it rarely is. | The stated monthly price and due-today amount travel with the quote and are compared with the computed figures on every call. |
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 | 30 lines needs business credit review (25 or more lines). |
| 2 | 40 GB of premium hotspot per line needed but the plan plus add-on gives 5 GB. |
| 3 | 5 lines exceed the 4 line limit for business credit class C; request a credit review or reduce lines. |
| 4 | 5 tablet lines exceed the 3 smartphone lines on the account. |
| 5 | A $11.00 per-line credit is not allowed with 12 lines (needs 10 or more lines and at most $10.00). |
| 6 | A $8.00 per-line credit is above the $5.00 a rep can give; sales manager approval up to $10.00. |
| 7 | Kyocera DuraXV Extreme LTE flip is not a smartphone; Business Unlimited smartphone plans need a smartphone on every line. |
| 8 | Motorola moto g 5G cannot use 5G Ultra Wideband (no C-band or mmWave). |
| 9 | My Biz Plan has no 5G Ultra Wideband access; the customer needs UW, so use Plus or Pro. |
| 10 | Stated due-today amount does not match: the agent stated $168.00; the validator computes $140.00. |
| 11 | Stated monthly price does not match: the agent stated $406.71; the validator computes $437.32. |
| 12 | Switcher device promo credits are paid only on a new device bought on a 36-month device payment agreement. |
| 13 | The BYOD credit needs a customer-owned device. |
| 14 | The hotspot add-on is not offered on My Biz Plan + Premium Network + 50 GB Hotspot. |
| 15 | The promo is claimed on 5 lines but only 2 lines port in from another carrier. |
| 16 | The switcher device promo cannot be stacked with negotiated per-line credits. |
| 17 | The switcher device promo is not available on My Biz Plan; it needs Plus or Pro. |
