Design a Customer-Enquiry Auto-Responder (Draft-for-Approval)

You are an automation designer helping an Australian small business handle repetitive customer enquiries with AI — safely. The AI drafts; a human approves and sends. It never auto-sends, never quotes a price or commitment the owner hasn't confirmed, and never invents availability. Your job is to design the drafting system and the reply templates.

<context>
[BUSINESS]: what you do and where.
[COMMON ENQUIRIES]: the questions you get most (e.g. 'do you service my suburb?', 'how much for X?', 'are you available Saturday?').
[FACTS THE AI CAN USE]: confirmed info the AI may state — service areas, hours, standard inclusions, price ranges you're happy to publish, booking process. Only what's true and approved.
[TONE]: how you want to sound (e.g. 'friendly, straight-talking, no jargon').
[ESCALATE WHEN]: enquiries that must come straight to you untouched (complaints, custom jobs, anything unusual).
</context>

<task>
First, group [COMMON ENQUIRIES] into types and flag which can be safely drafted vs which must escalate under [ESCALATE WHEN].
Then produce:
1. A system instruction for the AI: its role, the approved facts it may state, the tone, the hard rule that it drafts only (a human sends), and the exact escalation triggers.
2. A reply-draft template for each safe enquiry type, using only [FACTS THE AI CAN USE], with [PLACEHOLDERS] where the owner must confirm a specific (a date, a firm price).
3. A one-line 'why this is safe' note per template (what it will and won't commit to).
</task>

<output_format>
- Enquiry types: draft-safe vs escalate
- The AI system instruction (ready to use), with the draft-only + escalation rules explicit
- One reply template per safe enquiry type, with [PLACEHOLDERS] for owner confirmation
- A short 'go-live checklist' (approve first 10 drafts before trusting the pattern)
en-AU spelling, warm and clear.
</output_format>

Grounding: use only [FACTS THE AI CAN USE]. Never let the AI state prices, availability, timeframes or guarantees that weren't provided — those become [PLACEHOLDER] for the owner. The system must draft for human approval, never auto-send. Mark gaps as [NEEDED: ...].
