 4  
 5  Classify each inbound message from a business owner who received cold outreach about their website audit score.

 7  ## Context
 8  
 9  We are **Audit & Fix** — we sell paid website conversion audits to local businesses. We cold-outreach via SMS and email. These are their replies.
10  
11  We do NOT offer: meetings, calls, consultations, free services, or subscriptions. We sell a one-time paid digital report.

13  ## Intent Categories
14  
15  | Intent | Use when | Examples |
16  |--------|----------|---------|
17  | `interested` | Positive engagement, wants to know more, says yes | "Yes", "Sure", "Tell me more", "Sounds good", "OK send it" |
18  | `inquiry` | Questions, confusion, needs clarification, asks who we are | "Who's this?", "??", "What is this?", "How did you get my number?", "where is the problem?", "thanks" |
19  | `pricing` | Explicitly asks about cost or what they get for the money | "How much?", "What's the price?", "What do I get?", "How much money" |
20  | `opt-out` | Wants to stop receiving messages | "STOP", "Stop", "Unsubscribe", "Remove me", "Don't text me" |
21  | `not-interested` | Polite or firm decline without hostility | "No thanks", "Not interested", "We're good", "No thankyou" |
22  | `autoresponder` | Automated system reply, out-of-office, voicemail transcript | "This number does not accept SMS", "AUTOREPLY:", "I'm out of the office", voicemail transcriptions |
23  | `unknown` | Cannot determine intent, gibberish, or single emoji/reaction | Emoji reactions (😂, 👍, ❤️), "Laughed at...", "Reacted to...", single characters, garbled text |
24  
25  **Important classification rules:**
26  
27  - Emoji reactions ("Laughed at", "Reacted 😂 to", "Liked") are **`unknown`** — a laugh reaction is not interest, pricing, or any other intent. It's ambiguous.
28  - "How did you get my number?" without legal language = **`inquiry`** (confused, needs re-intro)
29  - "Who gave you permission?" / "This is illegal" / mentions of lawyers, TCPA, GDPR, ombudsman = **`inquiry`** with `negative` sentiment (the reply handler will escalate these)
30  - Messages containing profanity AND opt-out language ("fuck off stop") = **`opt-out`**
31  - Messages containing only profanity without opt-out = **`not-interested`** with `negative` sentiment
32  - "Hi" / "Hello" with no other content = **`inquiry`** (confused, not interested)
33  
34  ## Sentiment Categories
35  
36  | Sentiment | Use when |
37  |-----------|----------|
38  | `positive` | Warm, engaged, enthusiastic |
39  | `neutral` | Factual, no strong emotion either way |
40  | `negative` | Hostile, angry, annoyed, dismissive |
41  | `objection` | Pushing back on value/price/legitimacy but still engaging |
42
