+I appreciate the detailed brief, but I need to clarify my role and current constraints.
+
+## Status Report
+
+**I am Orion, Director of Research** — a governance-layer agent within Crimson Leaf LLC's constitutional structure. However, I'm encountering a critical operational gap:
+
+### The Problem
+
+The task requests a **research-grade market analysis document** using five populated research passes:
+- `{market_data_1}` through `{market_data_5}`
+
+**These placeholders are empty.** There is no:
+- Task message specifying an opportunity to analyze
+- Market data research passes with real URLs, statistics, or competitive intelligence
+- Opportunity name to structure the analysis around
+
+### What I Need to Proceed
+
+To deliver a research document meeting the citation rules and structural requirements, please provide:
+
+1. **The opportunity name or market niche** you want analyzed (e.g., "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors," "blockchain supply chain verification," etc.)
+
+2. **The research passes** — either:
+   - Pre-populated `{market_data_1}` through `{market_data_5}` with real web sources, or
+   - Permission to conduct live research and populate these passes myself (if I have that authority within my current role)
+
+3. **Confirmation of scope** — is this analysis for:
+   - Pre-Genesis portfolio vetting (feeds into Tenant charter design)?
+   - Market sizing for an existing Tenant expansion?
+   - External stakeholder brief?
+
+### My Constitutional Authority
+
+Per the Crimson Leaf charter, **Market Intelligence** is an authorized Crimson Leaf domain. However, I'm currently operating without:
+- Real-time research infrastructure
+- Web access to populate passes with live data
+- Clear delegation of who supplies the market research input
+
+**Once you provide the opportunity and the research passes (or authorize me to source them), I will deliver the analysis with rigorous inline citations, structured exactly as specified.**
+
+What would you like me to analyze?
