Abstract
Embodiments operate a configurator that generates a quote for a product or service configuration, the quote including a quote workflow that includes at least one required quote approval and the quote includes a plurality of quote attributes that define the quote. Embodiments input the plurality of quote attributes into a first neural network model and a second neural network model and generate with a gradient descent a likelihood that the quote will be approved and a time required for the quote to be approved. Embodiments 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. Embodiments receive a change to one or more of the attributes and regenerate the likelihood that the quote will be approved and/or the time required for the quote to be approved based on the change.
