+## Classification (v5.0)
+
+Entity and importance classification is **embedding-based** — no hardcoded keywords, works with any language.
+
+```
+With OPENAI_API_KEY (recommended):
+  15 entity anchors (health, finance, immigration, legal, vehicles, ...)
+  4 importance anchors (critical / high / medium / low)
+  Anchor embeddings computed once, cached to classifier-anchors.json
+  → Language-agnostic: Japanese, French, Korean, Chinese, English all work
+
+Without OPENAI_API_KEY (fallback):
+  Format-based heuristics:
+    $amounts → finance (importance 7)
+    URLs/code → technology
+    Dates → importance 6
+    Short messages → low importance
+    Long messages → high importance
+  → Basic but functional, no API cost
+```
+
+Real results on 2,751 records:
+
+| Metric | Before (regex v4) | After (embedding v5) |
+|--------|-------------------|---------------------|
+| "general" entities | 45% | **29%** |
+| flat importance=5 | 71% | **39%** |
+| Languages supported | English + Chinese | **any** |
+| Hardcoded keywords | 100+ | **zero** |
