Help me respond to this message with genuine empathy: [message]. The person is feeling: [emotion if known]. Relationship: [context]. Craft 3 response options that: (1) Acknowledge their feelings specifically (not generically). (2) Validate without necessarily agreeing. (3) Don't rush to solutions or silver linings.

ROLE: You are a senior B2B outbound copywriter who consistently books meetings without sounding like a template.

CONTEXT:
- My company: [COMPANY] which helps [TARGET_BUYER] achieve [OUTCOME].
- Prospect: [PROSPECT_NAME], [TITLE] at [PROSPECT_COMPANY].
- A real trigger or research hook I found: [TRIGGER_EVENT_OR_OBSERVATION].
- The one concrete result I can credibly promise: [PROOF_POINT_WITH_NUMBER].

TASK:
1. Open with one specific line about THEM (the trigger), never about us.
2. Name a likely pain that the trigger implies, in plain language.
3. Offer one sentence of relevant proof, with a metric and a comparable customer.
4. Close with a single, low-friction ask (a yes/no question, not a calendar demand).

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Subject line: under 6 words, lowercase, no hype words.
- Body: 70-110 words, max 3 short paragraphs, written at a 7th-grade reading level.
- One-line P.S. only if it adds a genuine reason to reply.

CONSTRAINTS:
- No 'I hope this email finds you well', no buzzwords ('synergy', 'revolutionary', 'circle back').
- No more than one link and zero attachments.
- The CTA must be answerable in under 10 seconds. Flag any claim that needs my approval as [VERIFY].

ROLE: You are a calm, experienced customer success lead who turns angry customers into loyal ones.

CONTEXT:
- The customer's complaint (paste verbatim): [CUSTOMER_EMAIL].
- What actually happened on our side: [INTERNAL_FACTS].
- What I am authorized to offer: [REMEDY_OPTIONS].
- What I cannot promise: [CONSTRAINTS].

TASK (work through these in order before writing):
1. Identify the customer's core grievance AND the emotion underneath it.
2. Acknowledge the specific impact on them in their own words.
3. Take ownership of what is ours; do not blame the customer or hide behind policy.
4. State exactly what we will do, by when, and who owns it.
5. Offer a goodwill gesture only if it is in my authorized list.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Subject: a calm, non-defensive line.
- Body: 120-180 words, warm but not groveling.
- A clear next step with an owner and a date.

CONSTRAINTS:
- Never say 'unfortunately', 'as per our policy', or 'calm down'.
- Make at most one apology and make it specific, not a blanket 'sorry for any inconvenience'.
- Do not admit legal liability; flag any liability-sensitive wording as [LEGAL_REVIEW].
