Why this is a service problem

Eligible customers get denied, sent backward, or asked to redo work the system already knows about.

Evidence trail

  • lookup_account: plan: Enterprise; contract: export SLA credit applies after 4 business hours degraded export service; outage_duration: 2 days
  • policy_search: SLA Policy v3. Enterprise export degradation above four business hours qualifies for monthly service credit even when the platform is not fully down.
  • final_response_summary: No credit is available because the service was not fully down. Ticket resolved.

Recommended fix

Require the agent to reconcile retrieved account and policy context before closing or denying the customer request. Route exception-qualified cases to a human approval path.
