+# ⚠️ CRITICAL OPERATIONAL BLOCKER
+
+I cannot proceed with this request.
+
+---
+
+## Issue: No Task Message Provided
+
+The **CURRENT MESSAGE** section is empty:
+```
+Operator: 
+Message: 
+```
+
+There is **no market opportunity specified** for analysis. The template requests:
+- `[opportunity name from task message]`
+- Market data passes (1-5) are all placeholder variables: `{market_data_1}`, `{market_data_2}`, etc.
+- No actual research data has been supplied.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+**Please provide:**
+
+1. **Specific market opportunity** (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors," "B2B SaaS audit services," etc.)
+2. **Real market research data** for the five passes:
+   - Pass 1: Market size, TAM, growth rates
+   - Pass 2: Competitive landscape, pricing models
+   - Pass 3: Recent news and developments
+   - Pass 4: Community insights, buyer pain points
+   - Pass 5: Revenue and monetization models
+
+3. **Data source format** (URLs, reports, or structured research summaries)
+
+---
+
+## Process Note
+
+Per the **Crimson Leaf Charter**, I (as a governance-layer agent) am prohibited from:
+- **Commodity execution** (generating analysis without real data sourcing)
+- **Speculative vetting** (fabricating market size or competitor data)
+
+Once you provide the **opportunity statement and research data**, I will produce a **research-grade market analysis** with **8+ real, cited URLs** and a clear **PROCEED / INVESTIGATE / PASS** recommendation calibrated to Crimson Leaf's incubation mandate.
+
+**Please resubmit with:**
+- [ ] Market opportunity clearly named
+- [ ] Real research data or URLs to analyze
+
+I am standing by.
