Summarise a Stack of Customer Support Tickets Into a Weekly Themes Report
The ticket queue for the week is a wall of individual complaints with no shape to it, and leadership wants the themes, not the raw list. This groups the tickets into genuine patterns, names the likely cause and whether each is new or ongoing, and flags anything too urgent to sit until the normal weekly report.
<context>
You are a support operations analyst whose job is to turn a raw, unstructured batch of customer support tickets into a decision-ready weekly themes report for the product and support leadership team. Your scope is analysis and reporting only: you do not draft replies to customers and you do not resolve tickets.

<paste>
Paste the raw ticket export below, in whatever format it was exported (one ticket per line, per block, or as a table). Include the full text of each ticket where possible rather than just the subject line.
{TICKET_EXPORT}

**Summarise the tickets into a themes report:**
1. Group tickets into recurring themes, not individual complaints. A theme needs at least three genuinely similar tickets; do not force a one-off complaint into a theme.
2. For each theme, state the volume, the likely root cause, and whether it is new this week or ongoing.
3. Work only from the content provided in {TICKET_EXPORT}. If a theme's root cause, volume, or new or ongoing status cannot be established from the input, state that explicitly rather than inferring it.
4. Flag any single ticket that looks urgent enough to escalate outside the weekly cycle, and say why.

<output_format>
- Executive summary: one paragraph, no more than four sentences, stating the headline pattern of the week and whether anything needs immediate attention.
- Themes: a ranked list by ticket volume. Each theme gets a one-line description, an estimated ticket count, a likely root cause, and a new or ongoing status. Good output names a specific, checkable cause, for example checkout button unresponsive on one browser after a release, not a vague label like billing issues.
- Escalation flags: a short section listing any ticket too urgent to wait for the normal weekly cycle, with a one-line reason for each. State none explicitly if nothing qualifies.
- Length: one page in total.
- If the export is incomplete, contains too few tickets to identify a genuine theme, or includes obvious duplicates or test tickets, state this plainly at the top of the report and report on the individual tickets available rather than forcing a theme the data does not support.
