I appreciate the detailed framing, but I need to flag a critical operational issue:

## Status: Unable to Proceed

**Problem:** The current message contains no task message with a specific market opportunity to analyze.

The structure you've provided includes:
- ✅ Charter and governance framework (Crimson Leaf LLC constitution)
- ✅ RAG context (portfolio state, roster composition, architectural patterns)
- ✅ Research template with citation rules and output structure
- ❌ **No actual opportunity or market to analyze**

The placeholder section reads:
```
*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***
Operator: 
Message: 
```

Both fields are blank.

## What I Need to Proceed

Please provide:

1. **The market opportunity or niche** you want analyzed (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript editing for indie authors," "SaaS analytics for micro-credentialing," etc.)
2. **Research data passes** (the actual {market_data_1} through {market_data_5} with real URLs and statistics)
3. **Strategic context** (why this opportunity is on Crimson Leaf's radar now)

## Note on Role

I'm functioning here as **research support**, not as "Orion" (a role not present in the current Crimson Leaf roster per the charter). Once you provide the opportunity and data, I can generate the market analysis document following your citation rules and structural requirements exactly.

**Ready when you are.** What market should we analyze?
