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

## Problem Statement

**There is no task message provided.** The "CURRENT MESSAGE" section shows:

```
Operator: 
Message: 
```

Both fields are empty. I cannot produce a market analysis without knowing what opportunity you want analyzed.

## What I Need to Proceed

To fulfill this research assignment as Orion, Director of Research, please provide:

1. **The specific market opportunity or niche** you want analyzed (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors," "community moderation as a service," etc.)

2. **Any constraints or context** (e.g., "focus on B2B SaaS," "target emerging markets," "adjacent to author services")

3. **Confirmation**: Are the `{market_data_1}` through `{market_data_5}` placeholders already populated in your system, or do I need to work with hypothetical data?

## What Will Happen Next

Once you provide the **task message / opportunity name**, I will:

✓ Produce a research-grade market analysis with **real URL citations only**  
✓ Structure it exactly per your template (8 sections + sources)  
✓ Include at least 8 real web citations  
✓ Apply citation discipline (no placeholders, no invented URLs)  
✓ End with a clear **PROCEED / INVESTIGATE FURTHER / PASS** recommendation  
✓ Return `BUSINESS_PLAN_NEEDED: true/false`

**Please reply with the opportunity you'd like me to analyze, and I'll deliver the full market intelligence report.**
