# ⚠️ CRITICAL ISSUE: MISSING OPERATOR INPUT

I've reviewed the context and system prompt, but **the operator's message is empty**.

To produce an **Affiliate Intelligence Brief**, I need you to specify:

## Required Input

**What niche should I research?**

Examples of valid niche specifications:
- "Best standing desks for remote workers"
- "Budget mechanical keyboards under $100"
- "Espresso machines for home baristas"
- "Yoga mats for hot yoga practitioners"
- "Camera tripods for content creators"

## What I Will Deliver

Once you provide the niche, I will produce:

1. **Amazon Associates data** — commission rates, price ranges, top 5 bestsellers
2. **Competitive landscape** — existing review sites, their gaps, white space opportunities
3. **Content opportunity map** — 10 article templates ranked by buying intent
4. **Revenue model** — traffic assumptions, conversion rates, monthly profit projections
5. **Crimson Leaf fit assessment** — how quickly we can execute, resource needs
6. **Recommendation** — START NOW / RESEARCH FURTHER / PASS with rationale
