Input

Ticket #8894 - Northstar Labs asks for a refund after duplicate billing on an Enterprise renewal. Customer says their CSM promised a billing exception.

Task

Resolve duplicate renewal refund request using billing and policy context.

Output

Refund denied. Renewal charges are final and the ticket has been closed.

Audit agent judgment

Expected output

Reverse the duplicate charge or get an escalation path that honors the promised exception.

Problem · Context Ignored

Context Neglect — The agent had account, policy, or contract evidence that should have changed the answer, but closed the work against that context.

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.
