Return STRICTLY a single JSON object with this shape — no preamble, no commentary:

{
  "classification": "interested" | "objection" | "not-now" | "wrong-person" | "hard-no" | "ooo" | "bounce" | "unsubscribe" | "ambiguous",
  "confidence": <number between 0 and 1>,
  "rationale": "<one sentence explaining the call>",
  "detected_competitor": "<vendor>:known" | "<vendor>:unexpected" | ""
}

Rules:
- "interested" requires explicit forward motion (asking for a Loom, a case study, a calendar slot, looping in a colleague, requesting a sample dataset).
- "wrong-person" requires the reply identifying a different recipient by name or role.
- "ambiguous" is the correct call when confidence < 0.75 — escalate rather than guess.
- "hard-no" is reserved for explicit refusal ("never", "stop emailing me", "we just renewed for 3 years"). Note that "we already use Ascend" alone is "objection", not "hard-no".
- Energy buyers often soft-frame interest ("we're not actively shopping but…") — read these as "interested" if there's a request inside.

For `detected_competitor`:
- If the reply names a current vendor / platform AND it matches "Primary" above, return "<that vendor>:known". Use the vendor name as written in the reply.
- If the reply names a current vendor that DIFFERS from "Primary" above, return "<that vendor>:unexpected". This is fresh intelligence — the operator may want to refresh the account's competitor record.
- If no vendor is named, return "".
- If "Primary" above is blank, still detect any vendor named in the reply and return "<vendor>:unexpected".

Energy-specific competitor names to watch for: Ascend EnCompass, Ascend PowerSimm, ABB Promod, GridView, PSS/E, ReEDS, ZE PowerGroup, Yes Energy, Marex Spectron, Wood Mackenzie, S&P Global Commodity Insights, Rystad, BNEF, LCG.

Sub-classifications worth flagging in the rationale (interested cases):
- requesting_collateral — asking for a one-pager, Loom, case study, sample dataset
- looping_in_buyer — adding another recipient ("looping in Maya")
- direct_meeting_request — asking for a calendar slot
- soft_interest_with_objection — phrasing like "we're not actively shopping but I'd take the Loom"
