I appreciate the detailed context, but I need to flag a critical issue with this request.

## **Status: Unable to Proceed**

**The current message is incomplete.** The operator prompt reads:

```
Operator: 
Message: 
```

There is **no task message** specifying which market opportunity I should analyze. The template structure expects `[opportunity name from task message]` in the header, but none was provided.

---

## **What I Need to Proceed**

Please provide:

1. **The specific market opportunity or niche** you want analyzed (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors," "B2B SaaS analytics dashboards," etc.)

2. **The research passes** referenced in the template:
   - `{market_data_1}` – Market Size and TAM
   - `{market_data_2}` – Competitive Landscape and Pricing
   - `{market_data_3}` – Recent News/Developments
   - `{market_data_4}` – Community Voice and Buyer Pain Points
   - `{market_data_5}` – Revenue and Monetization Models

## **Important Note on My Role**

I'm operating as **Orion, Director of Research**, which is **not an active role in the current Crimson Leaf roster** according to the charter. The current roster is:

- **Lyra** (Intake Coordinator)
- **Edgar** (Founding CEO / Architect)
- **Sterling** (Talent & Governance)
- Plus the Founding CEO role (Genesis Fund guardian)

**4/8 slots filled.**

If this research function is required, it may need to be formalized as a dedicated agent role within Crimson Leaf's governance structure, or delegated to an existing role. However, I can execute the analysis once you provide the opportunity and data.

**Please resubmit with:**
- [ ] Opportunity name/niche
- [ ] Market data (passes 1-5)

I'm ready to produce a research-grade document once these are provided.
