Cedarline Finance - Hallucinated billing policy
The AI told the customer both annual seats and usage overages were refundable, which conflicts with the current billing policy.
Rillmark Health - Failed escalation
A frustrated admin asked for a manager twice. The AI continued troubleshooting and did not create an escalation.
Vellum Labs - Outdated product answer
The AI described the old CSV retry flow and missed the new bulk import recovery setting shipped last month.

Publish a clear refund decision table with annual plans, seat changes, overages, and renewal windows.

Sample support thread
Customer
We canceled after the renewal email. Can you refund the annual seats and overage charge?
AI reply
Yes, both charges are eligible for refund if requested within 30 days. I can start that for you.
Recommended correction
Human review required. Confirm refund eligibility, correct the customer-facing reply, and update the billing policy answer.
