For the ticket below, return:
1. Category, SLA tier, urgency
2. Likely root cause
3. Ready-to-send customer response — acknowledges the specific issue, gives clear next steps, references the relevant FAQ
4. Escalate to Tier 2? Yes/no and why

Success means the tier is defensible from the SLA definitions and the response uses only facts from the knowledge base or the ticket.

Ticket:
"[PASTE TICKET]"

Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.

If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.
