+# ERROR: INCOMPLETE REQUEST
+
+I'm Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings, but I cannot produce the market analysis you've requested because **the operator message is empty**.
+
+## What I need to proceed:
+
+1. **The Opportunity Name/Description** — What market or business niche should I analyze?
+   - Example: "AI-powered manuscript formatting for indie authors"
+   - Example: "B2B SaaS for small law firm case management"
+
+2. **Research Data Passes** — The template references five data passes that should contain:
+   - `{market_data_1}` — TAM, growth rates, market sizing
+   - `{market_data_2}` — Competitors, pricing, positioning
+   - `{market_data_3}` — Recent news and developments
+   - `{market_data_4}` — Community feedback, pain points, forums
+   - `{market_data_5}` — Revenue models, pricing structures, monetization
+
+**All of these appear as empty placeholders in your message.**
+
+## Next steps:
+
+Please resubmit with:
+1. **The specific opportunity** you want analyzed
+2. **Research data** (or authorization for me to conduct research via web search, if available)
+
+Once you provide the opportunity brief and source data, I will produce a **research-grade market analysis** with real citations, competitive positioning, TAM validation, and a PROCEED/INVESTIGATE/PASS recommendation grounded in evidence.
+
+---
+
+**Standing by for task clarification.**
