An AI sales agent's Radar licence quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a licence quote for an insurer that wants WTW Radar pricing software, with Radar Base, Radar Live, Radar Optimiser, Emblem and Radar Constructor, the modeller seats, the live environments, the quote volume, the discount and the annual fee the quote states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the licence rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the totals it computed.

Scope: Radar licence quotes: Radar Base, Radar Live, Radar Optimiser, Emblem and Radar Constructor, modeller seats, live environments, quote volume, hosting, term, discount and the annual fee the quote states. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Radar licence quotes, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Product prerequisites — Radar Live, Radar Optimiser and Radar Constructor need Radar Base or an existing Radar Base licence, Radar Optimiser is not offered for the claims line or where regulation forbids price optimisation, and the quote needs at least one product.
  • Seats, environments and volume — Radar Live needs 1 to 4 live environments, 1 to 50 modeller seats, a term of 1 to 5 years, and quote volume up to 500 million a year.
  • Fee and approvals — the annual fee the quote states against the fee computed from the modeled prices, a discount above 20 percent blocked, and a person's review for a discount over 10 percent, more than 25 seats, high volume, customer-hosted Radar Live or a first Optimiser licence without the course.

Any Radar licence quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other WTW products and licence terms outside these rules. The product names follow WTW's public pages; every rule, limit and price here is modeled from comparable products and is not published by WTW, so the figures are illustrative.

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
Product prerequisitesOnly with care
Radar Live, Radar Optimiser and Radar Constructor each depend on Radar Base or an existing licence, so a rule is needed for every pair and for the existing-licence exception.
The product flags and the existing-licence flag are fields of one request and are checked together on every call.
Optimiser limits by line and marketOnly with care
Radar Optimiser is barred for the claims line and where regulation forbids price optimisation, so separate rules must read the line and the market together with the product.
The line, the regulation flag and the product are compared on every call, whatever order they were added in.
Limits on environments, seats, volume and termOnly with workarounds
Each limit has its own range, and Radar Live adds a minimum number of environments, so many rules must be kept in step as quotes change.
All counts sit in one request, so every range is rechecked on every call.
A stated fee that must match the modeled pricesOnly with workarounds
The fee depends on the products, seats, environments, a volume tier, the course and the discount, so a separate rule must recompute it and compare it with the stated figure.
The stated fee is a field of the request and is compared with the computed fee on every call.
Approvals for discount, seats, volume, hosting and trainingOnly with workarounds
Five different conditions each send the quote to a person, and they interact with the blocking rules, so the thresholds must be checked against recomputed figures.
The approvals are separate findings returned together with the blocking ones.

What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

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.

1The quote contains no Radar product.
2Radar Live deploys what is built in Radar, so the quote needs Radar Base or an existing Radar Base licence.
3Radar Optimiser works on rating models built in Radar, so the quote needs Radar Base or an existing Radar Base licence.
4Radar Optimiser optimises prices and is not offered for the claims line.
5Price optimisation is not permitted for this customer market, so Radar Optimiser cannot be quoted.
6A first Radar Optimiser licence is quoted without the Optimiser course; a person should confirm the optimisation experience of the customer.
7Radar Constructor needs Radar Base or an existing Radar Base licence.
8Radar Live needs at least 1 live environment; the quote has 0.
9The quote has 2 live environment(s) but no Radar Live.

Narration transcript

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a licence quote for an insurer that wants WTW Radar pricing software, with Radar Base. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the licence rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the totals it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote Radar Live, Radar Optimiser and Emblem for the claims line, with 12 modeller seats, 5 live environments, cloud hosting and 600 million quotes a year. It is ready to send. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with seven findings and one approval, all in one answer. Radar Live deploys what is built in Radar, so the quote needs Radar Base or an existing Radar Base licence. Radar Optimiser works on rating models built in Radar, so the quote needs Radar Base or an existing Radar Base licence. Radar Optimiser optimises prices and is not offered for the claims line. The other four are on screen.
  6. The validator returned seven blocking findings and one approval 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. What this shows: for a stated fee that must match the modeled prices, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the Radar Base to yes, the Radar Optimiser to no, the live environments to 4, the quotes per year to 200 millions, the discount to 10 percent and the annual fee stated on the quote to 1,331,100 dollars.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. All eight earlier findings are cleared.
  13. Eight 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.
