I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to pause and clarify the situation.

## Current Status

**The operator message is empty.** There is no specific market opportunity, niche, or task for me to analyze. The template and research structure are present, but the actual research passes (market_data_1 through market_data_5) contain only placeholders—no real data has been provided.

Additionally, I notice a **structural constraint**: I am listed as **Orion, Director of Research**, but according to the Crimson Leaf charter and RAG context, **no agent named 'market_intelligence' or with research authority currently exists in the roster.**

The current confirmed roster appears to be:
- **Lyra** (Intake Coordinator)
- **Edgar** (Founding CEO/Operational Support)
- **Sterling** (Governance)
- **Founding CEO** (role)

**Total: 4/8 agents**

## What I Need to Proceed

To produce a research-grade market analysis document, I require:

1. **A specific market opportunity or niche** from the operator (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors," "boutique email list management for SaaS founders," etc.)

2. **Real research data** populated into the five passes above (market size stats with URLs, competitor landscapes, recent news, community pain points, revenue models)

3. **Confirmation of my operational authority** — either:
   - I should be formally hired as a Crimson Leaf agent with market intelligence authority, OR
   - This analysis should be delegated to an existing agent with research mandate

## Immediate Next Step

**Operator:** Please provide the specific market opportunity you'd like analyzed, and I will produce a research-grade document following the structure above with real citations. Alternatively, if you'd like to formally expand Crimson Leaf's roster to include a dedicated market research function, I can support that charter proposal first.

What would you like to do?
