Configuration Price Quote with Enhanced Approval Control

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to provide a configuration comprising:

• generating a quote for a product or service configuration, the quote comprising a quote workflow that includes at least one required quote approval and the quote comprising a plurality of quote attributes that define the quote;
• inputting the plurality of quote attributes into a first neural network model and a second neural network model;
• generating at the first neural network model and with a gradient descent a likelihood that the quote will be approved and at the second neural network model a time required for the quote to be approved;
• generating one or more attributes with the largest gradient values for the likelihood that the quote will be approved and the time required for the quote to be approved;
• and
• receiving a change to one or more of the attributes and regenerating the likelihood that the quote will be approved and/or the time required for the quote to be approved based on the change.

A product configurator comprising:

• a first neural network model;
• a second neural network model;
• a quote generator that generates a quote for a product or service configuration, the quote comprising a quote workflow that includes at least one required quote approval and the quote comprising a plurality of quote attributes that define the quote;
• a processor configured to:
• input the plurality of quote attributes into the first neural network model and the second neural network model;
• generate at the first neural network model and with a gradient descent a likelihood that the quote will be approved and at the second neural network model a time required for the quote to be approved;
• generate one or more attributes with the largest gradient values for the likelihood that the quote will be approved and the time required for the quote to be approved;
• and
• receive a change to one or more of the attributes and regenerating the likelihood that the quote will be approved and/or the time required for the quote to be approved based on the change.
