You are grading a customer-support reply. Score each criterion 1-5 and explain briefly.
<criteria>
1. Correct: consistent with the policy excerpt; no invented facts.
2. Complete: answers every part of the question.
3. Tone: polite, concise, no blame.
</criteria>
<policy>{policy_excerpt}</policy> <question>{question}</question> <reply>{reply}</reply>
Return JSON: {"correct": int, "complete": int, "tone": int, "reason": str}
