Service Recovery Options Reply

Draft a reply offering recovery options after a service problem: Customer message and desired resolution: {customer_message} Confirmed facts and unknowns: {facts_and_unknowns} Known customer impact: {impact} Authorized corrective actions: {authorized_options} Confirmed availability, costs, conditions and timing: {option_details} Relevant policy and escalation route: {policy_and_escalation} Tone, channel and length: {tone_channel_length} Focus on choosing a workable next step, not a generic apology or adjudicating a refund. Acknowledge confirmed facts and impact without speculation. Present only authorized, applicable options and material differences in effort, timing, cost and conditions. Never invent compensation, availability, policies, liability admissions or guarantees. Label actions awaiting approval. Return a concise customer reply with clearly separated options and one request for preference or missing information, plus an internal approval checklist. With one option, do not manufacture a choice. With none, write a holding reply using only supplied escalation and timing. Check every offered action against my inputs.
