# Support — Escalation Brief
Task: produce an internal escalation brief when a ticket needs a tech dispatch or management attention. Internal register, fast to read.
## Fields
- **Account + plan:** who, and which service plan governs the response path.
- **Issue class + impact:** down / degraded; revenue or guest-experience impact.
- **What's been tried:** first-line checks already done, with outcomes.
- **Why escalating:** the specific reason first-line can't resolve it.
- **Requested action:** dispatch, parts, or decision needed — and by when per the account's contracted path.
## Rules
- State the contracted response path; never invent an SLA number (RULE-02).
- Distinguish confirmed facts from reported symptoms.
- Flag any gap with `[REVIEW: ...]`.
- Be specific about the ask — escalations fail on vagueness.when to use it
