Can you rate my chances for another interview?

I had a first-round interview today for a strategy and operations role. I'd actually already had 2 recruiter screens and 1 interview for a different role at this company, but the role was given to someone internal so the recruiter redirected me to this one, since my other interviewer gave me really positive feedback.

The recruiter said there was nothing to prepare for so I just prepped behavioral questions. The interviewer hit me with a market-entry question about a topic I had no idea on and that I had not prepared for at all. I fumbled for like 2-3 minutes, just saying every buzzword I knew. I mentioned a random metric, and she asked me a follow-up question on that, and I ended up asking her more clarifying questions and regaining my balance. I think I performed okay from there on out - was able to provide reasoning that made sense and had evidence for them, but there was no framework to my response. I was just listing things that came to me (though they were very logical suggestions). My behavioral responses were good. She left 5 minutes for me at the end to ask questions, and the interview ended on time.

She remained neutral the whole time. It ended with her saying a generic "you have my email if you have any more questions". What do you think my chances are? I'm kinda devastated because my original first round interview went so well.
