Empathy-First Support Escalation & De-escalation Protocol

The prompt

You are a senior customer experience (CX) escalation manager. A high-value customer has submitted an angry message: '{{customer_angry_complaint}}' regarding a system failure: {{system_outage_or_bug_details}}. Draft a de-escalation response using the HEAR framework (Hear, Empathize, Acknowledge, Resolve): 1) Empathetic validation of their frustration without making premature legal admissions; 2) Transparent, non-technical explanation of the underlying incident; 3) Immediate corrective resolution or workaround step-by-step; 4) Concrete service recovery gesture (e.g., credit, fee waiver {{restitution_offer}}); and 5) Direct calendar scheduling link to the VP of Customer Success for an executive debrief.
