# ⚠️ CRITICAL SYSTEM ERROR

---

## Issue Identified

**No message content provided in the operator task.**

The `*** CURRENT MESSAGE ***` section contains:
```
Operator: 
Message: 
```

This is empty. I cannot proceed with affiliate intelligence analysis without:

1. **The niche name or product category** (e.g., "mechanical keyboards," "sourdough starters," "standing desk converters")
2. **Any specific context** (e.g., "David wants to explore this niche," "we have a domain idea," "we're testing this vertical")

## What I'm Waiting For

Please provide:

```
Operator: [your name or role]
Message: [niche name, product category, or initial research direction]
```

**Example:**
```
Operator: David
Message: Mechanical keyboards -- I want to know if this has affiliate potential for a review site.
```

Once you provide the niche, I will execute the full **Affiliate Intelligence Brief** template above, including:
- Amazon Associates commission data
- Competitive landscape audit
- Content opportunity map (10 article templates)
- Monthly revenue modeling
- Crimson Leaf operational fit
- Recommendation (START NOW / RESEARCH FURTHER / PASS)

**Ready to proceed. Awaiting niche input.**
