Ticket 31389: after photos confirm the old Tankstick path, move from generic diagnosis to the exact upgrade kit
Resolution signal
Human public reply materially improved an earlier automation draft.
Automation draft weakness
The draft correctly asked for rear and inside photos and kept the legacy cable-versus-PCB boundary safe, but it stopped one step too early once the customer had already supplied the needed photos.
It did not convert the confirmed photo evidence into the exact product recommendation or name the concrete purchase path.
Manual reply improvement
Matt used the photo evidence to identify the unit as an older-generation Tankstick and moved directly to the recommended purchase path: the Tri-Mode PCB Upgrade Kit plus the Replacement Cable Kit.
The public reply replaced an abstract review boundary with the exact next-step items the customer should add to cart.
New drafting rule
For legacy Tankstick upgrade tickets, use the initial diagnostic/photo request only until the rear/PCB photos arrive.
Once the photos confirm the customer is on an older-generation board path, stop repeating cable-versus-PCB uncertainty and name the exact upgrade kit plus matching cable kit if Matt's public guidance already established that recommendation.
Confidence effect
Upgrades the reply path from medium-confidence legacy diagnosis to high-confidence upgrade guidance once the photo evidence is in hand.
Storage decision
Keep as a reviewable Freshdesk learning proposal that is safe for future private-note drafting.
