### Error Details

**No operator message received.** The task field is empty, and no market opportunity has been specified for analysis.

### What I Need

To produce a research-grade market analysis document as Director of Research, please provide:

1. **The opportunity name or niche** — What market should I analyze?
   - Example: "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors"
   - Example: "B2B SaaS data pipeline optimization"

2. **The business context** — Why is Crimson Leaf considering this?
   - Is this a proposed Tenant incubation?
   - Is this a portfolio gap analysis?
   - Is this a capital allocation decision?

3. **The research scope** — What geographic, product, or audience boundaries apply?

### Next Steps

**Please resubmit with:**
- The specific market opportunity you'd like analyzed
- Any constraints or target metrics Crimson Leaf is tracking
- Whether this feeds into a Genesis Protocol evaluation

Once I receive the opportunity details, I will execute the full 5-pass research framework (TAM, competitors, news, buyer voice, monetization) and deliver a citation-grounded market analysis document per the structure above.
