Predictika · Sectional garage door orders

An AI sales agent's garage door order, checked against the technical tables before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a sectional garage door with its track system and operation. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the manufacturer's published technical tables and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: UniPro, UniTherm and PRIME sectional garage doors: size limits, track system, lintel height, side clearance, garage depth and clear passage. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for three sectional garage door lines (UniPro, UniTherm, PRIME) with the Sp and St track systems, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Size — minimum door sizes (UniPro by panel type; UniTherm and PRIME), the largest opening height for each line and track system, and the widest opening allowed at each opening height from the brochure tables.
  • Fit in the garage — the minimum lintel height, the minimum side clearance (110 mm; 160 mm for PRIME) and the minimum garage depth for manual, MOTO, METRO or SPARK operation (from the drive rail length and the brochure formulas).
  • Clear passage — the clear passage height after installation (opening height less the brochure deduction for the line, tracks and operation) is compared with the height the buyer needs and with the figure the order states; the technical pages publish PRIME figures only for Sp tracks with the METRO drive, so other PRIME combinations are blocked as not checkable.

Any order for these lines that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices, the Sp lintel height at an opening height of 2,125 mm (the brochure shows different values for different panel types, so the lowest is used), other track systems (Sj, StA, SpA, HL, N, SNP, Nano80, RenoSystem), wicket doors, glazing, colours and accessories, doors with a catcher, garage depth for PRIME, the sloped-ceiling tables and roller, up and over and double leaf doors.

The AI sales agentBuilds the garage door order from the conversation and says it is ready.

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
Widest door that depends on the opening heightOnly with care
A product rule per line and track system; the limit steps down with height, so each table is its own set of rules.		Width, height, line and tracks are in one request and the width limit for that height is computed on every call.
Lintel, side clearance and garage depth that depend on the line, tracks and operationOnly with workarounds
Each needs a calculated minimum from several choices, then a comparison with a figure typed on another line.		The minimums are computed on every call from the choices and compared with the garage dimensions on the order.
Clear passage height after installationOnly with workarounds
The deduction changes with the line, tracks and drive, and has to be compared with the vehicle height and with the figure the order states.		The clear height is computed on every call and compared with both.
PRIME only with certain tracks and driveOnly with care
Each is a product-to-product compatibility rule that needs maintaining.		The line, tracks and drive are in one request and the pairing is checked with everything else.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

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.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for a sectional garage door with its track system and operation. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the manufacturer's published technical tables 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 quote a UniTherm sectional garage door. The garage has 150 mm of lintel height, 100 mm of side clearance on the narrower side and is 3,000 mm deep. The rest of the request is on screen. The order states a clear passage height of 2,500 mm.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with five findings, all in one answer. At an opening height of 2,500 mm the widest door for this line and tracks is 5,000 mm, and the order is 5,500 mm wide. This door needs at least 200 mm of lintel height above the opening, and the garage has 150 mm. This door needs at least 110 mm of side clearance on each side of the opening, and the narrower side has 100 mm. The other two are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned five 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 lintel, side clearance and garage depth that depend on the line, tracks and operation, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the opening width to 5,000 mm, the lintel height available to 250 mm and the stated clear height to 2,400 mm.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. This door needs at least 110 mm of side clearance on each side of the opening, and the narrower side has 100 mm. With these tracks and this operation the garage must be at least 3,800 mm deep, and it is 3,000 mm deep.
    12. 
      
  12. Three findings cleared. Still blocking: side clearance too small and garage not deep enough.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the narrower side clearance to 150 mm and the garage depth to 4,000 mm.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    18. 
      
  18. Five 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.
