## Status: **AWAITING OPERATOR INPUT**

You've provided me with:
- ✅ My role: Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings
- ✅ The research template and citation framework
- ✅ The organizational charter and context
- ❌ **No market opportunity to analyze**

Your message contains:

```

**Both fields are empty.**

## What I Need to Proceed

Please provide the **specific market opportunity** you'd like me to research. For example:

- "Research the SaaS market for book launch automation"
- "Analyze the competitive landscape for genre-specific book cover design tools"
- Or any other opportunity aligned with the Incubation Project charter

## Once You Provide the Opportunity

I will:

1. **Execute the 5-pass research framework** (market size, competition, news, community voice, monetization)
2. **Cite only real URLs** from the research data—no invented sources
3. **Structure the full market analysis** per the template above
4. **Deliver a clear PROCEED/INVESTIGATE/PASS recommendation** backed by data
5. **Flag BUSINESS_PLAN_NEEDED** status for downstream Genesis action

**Please provide the market opportunity, and I'll deliver a research-grade analysis within the hour.**
