## Execution Flow

1. **Parse Ticket Content**
   ```
   ai.classify({
     content: ticket.subject + " " + ticket.body,
     categories: ["technical", "billing", "account", "product", "urgent"],
     extractEntities: true
   })
   ```

2. **Enrich Customer Context**
   ```
   crm.get_customer({
     customerId: ticket.customer_id,
     include: ["tier", "health_score", "open_tickets", "lifetime_value"]
   })
   ```

3. **Calculate Priority Score**
   - Apply weighted scoring matrix
   - Factor in customer tier and sentiment
   - Check for escalation triggers

4. **Determine Routing**
   ```
   support.route({
     ticketId: ticket.ticket_id,
     category: classification.category,
     priority: calculated_priority,
     customerTier: customer.tier,
     preferredAgent: customer.assigned_csm
   })
   ```

5. **Set Priority and SLA**
   ```
   support.set_priority({
     ticketId: ticket.ticket_id,
     priority: calculated_priority,
     slaDeadline: calculated_sla
   })
   ```

6. **Track Triage Metrics**
   ```
   analytics.track_triage({
     ticketId: ticket.ticket_id,
     triageTime: elapsed_ms,
     confidence: classification.confidence,
     autoRouted: true
   })
   ```

## Guardrails

- Never auto-assign security/data breach tickets without human review
- Always escalate tickets mentioning legal action or regulatory compliance
- Flag repeat contacts (>3 tickets in 7 days) for proactive outreach
- Respect customer language preferences for routing
- Log all triage decisions with confidence scores for audit trail
- Human review required when confidence < 70%
- VIP customers always route to senior agents regardless of issue type
- Never expose internal routing logic in customer-facing responses
