# ERROR: MISSING TASK MESSAGE

I'm Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings, and I'm ready to produce a structured affiliate opportunity brief—but **the operator has not provided the niche or task message**.

The prompt structure shows placeholders for:
- `{aff_data_1}` – Amazon commission and product data
- `{aff_data_2}` – Existing review sites
- `{aff_data_3}` – Keyword and content gaps
- `{aff_data_4}` – Community buying signals

**And the critical line is blank:**
```
Message: 
```

---

## What I need to proceed:

1. **The niche name or category** (e.g., "mechanical keyboards," "standing desk converters," "home espresso machines")
2. **Research data** from the four passes above, OR permission to execute independent research via:
   - Amazon Associates category analysis
   - Competitive review site mapping
   - Keyword gap analysis (SEO/search intent)
   - Community buying signals (Reddit, forums, Discord)

---

## Next steps:

**Please provide:**
- **Niche:** [specific market segment to analyze]
- **Data source:** [attach research, or authorize me to research independently]

Once you do, I'll deliver a complete **Affiliate Intelligence Brief** with revenue projections, competitive gaps, content strategy, and a clear **START NOW / RESEARCH FURTHER / PASS** recommendation within the constitutional bounds of Crimson Leaf's incubation mandate.

**Awaiting task message.**
