Predictika · Mobile office rental quotes
An AI sales agent prepares a rental quote for mobile office trailers or ground level offices, with the unit type, the number of units, the rental term, the occupants, the workstation package, the entrance, the site power, the discount, damage waiver and delivery distance, and the monthly total the quote states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the rental rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the monthly rental it computed.
This validator models mobile office rental quotes, not just the scenarios shown below.
Any rental quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: portable storage, classrooms, complexes, taxes and other WillScot products. The product names follow WillScot's public pages; the unit sizes beyond the 20 x 8 ground level office, capacities, power needs, term limits, discount and approval thresholds and all rates are modeled from comparable products and are not published by WillScot, so every figure here is illustrative.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Options that depend on the unit type | Only with care Steps, skirting, the Professional package and the restroom are each allowed on some unit types and not on others, so every option rule must test the unit type. | The unit type and every option are fields of one request and are checked together on every call. |
| Capacity and power per unit type | Only with workarounds Occupants and site power are limited per unit and scale with the number of units, so each limit needs its own rule and lookup table. | Each limit is a separate finding, and all of them are returned together. |
| Public access, wind and entrance | Only with care A trailer open to the public needs an ADA ramp and a high-wind site needs tie-downs, so a rule must read two fields that are chosen independently. | Both fields are compared on every call, whatever order they were chosen in. |
| A stated monthly total that must match the rates | Only with workarounds The monthly total chains the unit rate, the options, the damage waiver and the discount, so a separate rule must recompute it and compare it with the stated figure. | The stated total is a field of the request and is compared with the computed total on every call. |
| Referrals for fleets, long terms and deliveries | Only with workarounds A manager review depends on the unit count, term, discount, distance and waiver together, so the triggers must be checked on top of the blocking rules. | The referrals are separate findings returned together with the blocking ones. |
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 | 10 occupants exceed the capacity of the selected units. |
| 2 | The quote has 0 units; at least 1 is needed. |
| 3 | A mobile office trailer rents for at least 3 months; the quote has 2 months. |
| 4 | A rental term of 61 months is outside the 1 to 60 month range. |
| 5 | A rental term over 36 months needs a manager to confirm the rate. |
| 6 | A workstation package needs at least 1 workstation. |
| 7 | 4 workstations are more than the occupants of the quote. |
| 8 | The Professional workstation package is not offered in a ground level office. |
| 9 | A ground level office is entered at grade; steps, canopy and ramp options apply to trailers only. |
| 10 | A raised trailer needs steps, a canopy system or an ADA ramp at the door. |
| 11 | A trailer open to the public needs an ADA ramp at the entrance. |
| 12 | Skirting applies to raised trailers only. |
| 13 | The restroom option is available on the 12 x 60 and 24 x 60 trailers only. |
| 14 | The site offers 99 amps; this unit needs 100 amps. |
| 15 | A trailer on a high-wind site needs the tie-down option. |
| 16 | A discount over 10 percent needs a manager to confirm. |
| 17 | A discount of 26 percent is outside the 0 to 25 percent a sales agent can quote. |
| 18 | An order of more than 10 units is priced as a fleet by a branch manager. |
| 19 | Delivery of more than 150 miles from the branch needs a manager to confirm the delivery fee. |
| 20 | With the damage waiver declined the customer must supply proof of insurance, which a person confirms. |
| 21 | The quote states a monthly total of 196,000 cents; the modeled rates give 196,100 cents. |
| 22 | The quote states a monthly total of 196,101 cents; the modeled rates give 196,100 cents. |
| 23 | The quote states a monthly total of 100 cents; the modeled rates give 187,000 cents. |
